Our December meeting will include elections for 2008 officers. We have a
candidate for club president, but no one has yet stepped forward to
apply for Newsletter Editor. If you are interested, please make yourself
known to one of the current officers or speak up at the December
meeting.
Also in December, we will have our usual holiday gift swap (bring a
turning in a plain brown bag tied shut with a length of string - take
home a turning from somebody else). ...and our usual pot-luck (bring a
dish of some kind to pass).
We will again participate in the Craft Center's craft fair the weekend
of Thanksgiving. Several members have signed up to participate. If you
have agreed to help set up, that will be Tues Nov 20 at 1 PM. If you are
participating but not setting up, be sure to get your items for sale to
the booth on Friday. Booth costs will be split according to the CNEW
fair policy: $10 flat entry fee with remainder of costs assessed as a
portion of sales.
We used the Center's Jet lathe for the demo tonight - Reid G observed
that we should really own an adapter that will convert the Jet's 1 1/4"
headstock spindle to 1" compatible with the club's chucks. We voted to
buy one.
Charlie Croteau gave an update on Project Goodwill (donated turnings
sold to purchase wheelchairs for distribution in the third world).
Wheelchairs now cost this organization $48 each.
Dues for 2008 are payable any time. Cost is $20 for newsletter via
e-mail, $25 if you want a paper newsletter via US mail.
The library has two new videos. Both are by Rex and Kip: Woodturning
Projects and Turning Pens.
Thanks to Mary Maguire who has been videoing the meeting programs for
the library.
Thanks to Dave Eaton who brought in a load of cherry for the wood swap
(with help from several members of the ART chapter, too).
Thanks to George Guadiane who donated 2 cherry burls for auction.
Next month: open-shop at 5:30 prior to the meeting
Program: George Guadiane - "Off Axis Triangle Stave Segmenting"
