| Meeting Information
The Woodturner's Group will meet on Tuesday, February 16, at 7:00 PM at the Shop. The meeting begins PROMPTLY at 7:00 PM. Please arrive early to look over the items brought in and to get your 50/50 tickets. Turners are asked to bring something to share with the group. The purpose of this is to encourage our newer turners to show off their work and gather ideas for new turnings. Bring a piece to share in our Instant Gallery and $2 for our 50/50 and raffle drawings. All VWC members in good standing are invited to the meeting. Guests are invited, so if you have company, bring them along.
See you there, NOTE: John Herega is responsible for lining up the demonstrations for our meetings. Members seem to be reluctant to volunteer for this but he needs your help. If you feel comfortable doing a demo for us, please let him know so he can schedule you in. DON'T BE BASHFUL! It's good experience. |
