– unusually on the first Thursday of the month, this month only –
6:30 Arrival, Setup, ”Chips Fly“, and Members Gallery viewing. And get advice in the “Problem Corner”
7:00 Meeting News, announcements, welcoming new and returning members.
Note: Last year we had members donate some wood turned items and our guild gave them to the school board, school principle, vice principals, custodians and shop teacher, etc as a token of our appreciation. Please donate one of your turnings so we once again can say thank you for their support. What the turning is does not matter as I kept a list of who got what and I will try not to duplicate. Please mark your name on the item or let Gary know when you hand it in. Thanks.
