Officers:
April Meeting: Tony Wheeler will be demonstrating making a bowl. Bandsaw blades still need to be picked up by Phil Heinz and Glenn Goertz. Notice: The officers would like the whole membership to express your opinions on what you thought of the format of last months workshop. Did it encourage your participation? Did it hold your interest more (or less)? Did it provide help for your turning technique or sharpening issues? What other type of activity do you think might be beneficial for us to introduce into the workshops? Would you be interested in breaking down a larger subject like finishing into smaller parts over several workshops? Please email Ruth or talk with one of us with your opinion or even write it on a piece of paper and hand it in. We want your input.

Meeting News:

Old business: There was a discussion of the possible costs of revamping the VHS tapes that were donated to the SKW library by Al Snell and the currently owned SKW library tapes. The membership voted to spend up to $100 to get the tapes done. New Business: Ray Chipman told members he had a pickup full of wood to give to members. The bandsaw blades which members had ordered were distributed and the membership got on with fun at the workshop. A good time was had by all and lunch was delicious. Thanks to everyone who brought a covered dish to help expand the menu.
