2007 membership dues are due. If you have not already paid, please contact the treasurer or pay via the CNEW website.

The "Woodworks" show will be held at the Big-E fairgrounds January 12-14.
- This show will include a Project Goodwill auction, so please bring in any last-minute donations at the January meeting.
- We voted to have a 10'x20' booth - there appeared to be enough interested members to staff it. There will be a more detailed sign-up at our January meeting.
- This show will also include a gallery. If you are interested in displaying your work in this gallery, either bring it to the show or get in touch with Dave Eaton in advance.

CNEW will make an equipment donation to the Craft Center's wood program in thanks for providing our meeting space: a talon chuck and several boxes of screws suitable for mounting wood on faceplates.

Many thanks to all outgoing 2006 officers!
