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.
