Think About Turning Today!

I'd like to encourage you to attend our symposium this weekend if you haven't already signed up.  Remember the $60 is a bargain compared to driving to a far off location to get the same instructors.
The A & E Committee is working hard to make this a quality event.  As usual Ray Curtis is doing most of the leg work.
At this point we have about 40 participants; and we are in good shape financially.
All those who attend should benefit from great instructors, and have an enjoyabl;e time.  Lunch is provided AND we have 70 - 80 door prizes to be given out Saturday evening. 
Also we will have an instant gallery table on Saturday only with everything going home after the first day's sessions. Please put your name and any interesting information with your articles.  Stands, back drops, or any other enhancement is welcome with your display.
Remember we have our Oct. 8th meeting at Ron's shop the following Wednesday.

Stan Lambert, Pres.

Minutes

President Stan Lambert opened the meeting at 7:00 pm sharp on Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2008 at Ron’s shop. There were 21 members present and 2 guests. Derrick and Lloyd Reimann joined us for the evening. Welcome.

Show and Tell:

Several things were brought in for show and tell.

Ray Curtis brought many bowls. They were made from box elder, locus, Russian olive, elm. He explained the concept of making the inside bigger than the outside, and the safety lesson that goes with that.

Joyce brought a segmented bowl.

Paul showed us his new jacket –very nice. And 2 boxes that he made.

Dan S showed us his very nice bowl from sagebrush. Who ever thought that sagebrush was good for anything.

Minutes:

The minutes were accepted as written.

Treasurer Report:

Treasurer report was given and accepted.

Old Business:

Ray Curtis has continued his hard work on the symposium Oct. 4 and 5. We need more participation and workers for the event. Any one with time to set up, take down, and what ever along the way, please contact Ray.

New Business:

I (Joyce) will have Alan and Sam at my house after set up for dinner. Any one wanting to join us is welcome. Please drop by and welcome them.
