 Think About Turning Today!

   Well our first 2 day symposium is behind us. Good reports from many participants as to it being an enjoyable and educational event.  Ray Curtis will have a financial report for us by meeting time.     A Big "thank you" to Ray and the entire A & E Committee plus everyone who helped put this weekend event together; and then pitched in to make it run smoothly.   We learned much; so the next one can be even better. Helpful suggestions will be welcome when we discuss this topic Nov. 14.  Speaking of the 14th - I received 3 - $10 gift certificates from Craft Supplies; so expect a raffle for them and other items.  Other things a-brewing:             AAW Young Turners Program,
                          Helping at West High's shop,
                          Yellowstone Boys & Girls Ranch
  See you the 14th at Ron's shop.
