Minutes of November Meeting
Submitted by Charlie Croteau for Tim Elliott, Secretary

November 2nd, 2006

The meeting began at 6:30, and the minutes from the Oct. 5th meeting were approved and accepted.

Project Goodwill continues. Your donated finished turnings could help provide a wheelchair for someone in need. We are currently collecting for the Big E Woodworks show which will be held in January. Please bring your donated items in by the Jan. meeting if you wish to participate.

Dave Eaton also collected 14 pens for the Freedom Pen Project which he will be sending out this month. If you were going to make a pen for this project, please get it over to Dave and he will send a second batch.

Our open turning studio continues to go well. Interested people can show up at 5:30pm before the meeting and turn in the wood shop.

The December meeting will be our traditional Pot Luck. Please bring your food item. Also bring a turned gift placed in a paper bag with a 3 ft string attached for the swap if you wish to participate in it.

Reid Gilmore gave an update on upcoming events.

There was much discussion about Annual Crafts Fair held at the Craft Center. A motion was made and approved to put the "Club Show" rules in abeyance for this event until the wording was made a bit clearer regarding payment fees.

Thank you again to Hal, Reid, Joan and Jon for the fine job of organizing and supplying the Malcolm Tibbetts Demo.

The club has purchased 9 new DVDs this month.
