I could only be at April's meeting for just a few minutes so the following report was penned by Don Jones...

A short business meeting broke up the lively visiting between the members Saturday morning. After the reports were given a motion was made that our always generous President be reimbursed for the refreshments he always has there for the members. It will be to James’s discretion as to how this is accomplished. No mention was made of past refreshments for fear of dissolving the clubs bank account. James’s next demonstration of generosity was to announce his purchase of 30 Timber Wolf band saw blades that he would share with the members at a 30% savings.

 Next came the gathering of donated turnings to help the Red Cross with their necessary fund raising. There was the usual interest in the show and tell as we are all at times amazed by the talent in such a little turning club. Business being finished the program was begun by the President sharing some of the important benefits that have come to him through club involvement. The remainder of the meeting time passed away quickly as others shared what the club had meant to them. The freely shared knowledge and encouragement has helped us all to get more out of our hobby. (Maybe addiction would be a better word)

 Is it safe to mention there is always wood (even walnut) and rocks (Howard has kept us all supplied with rocks to crush that add beauty to our work).

 The value of the club holds it’s own against the rising gas prices.
