Offcuts from the Board
January 2020
As woodturners, we do not have much scrap, just smaller pieces that can be used together to make something larger in combination with other bits and pieces. That's what this little section attempts to produce. By adding the small parts of our activities and plans we have a combined bigger picture of opportunities to take part in within the club.
- Please take note of the changes to the Open Shop schedule. Please refer to the Open Shop section of this newsletter.
- Be sure to check out our website. The address is; independencewoodturners.org (Ref. the following article about the website.).
- As a reminder, the membership dues will become $20 a year beginning January 2020, and only emailed newsletters will be sent.
- The Woodworking Tool Show will again be held in January at the KCI Expo Center up by the airport. It will be January 17th thru the 19th. The officers have decided that our club is to not have a booth this year. The information with website links are in the Upcoming Events box.
- The officers are very willing to hear from you, the members, any thoughts and ideas you might have as to what you would like to see from the club within the abilities, guidelines and purposes of the club. Therefore, feel free to contact any officer with your input.
- There are many ways you can contribute to the life of our club. A really good way is to partake in the Open Shop by bringing a project or turning and get a lathe going. Another way is to submit your woodturning tips also for the newsletter. (Refer to the article later.) Of course there are many other ways to put your enthusiasm into action. You can ask any officer for direction. There are many practical ways to be involved. A simple way to help is to come early to the meeting and help set up the room for the meeting and/or stay afterwards and help clean up. Either or both are appreciated.
Keep turning safely and we’ll see you at the meeting.
