From The President
Hey fellow turners, we are in need of a couple of volunteers! 1/3 of the year has gone
by an still no one is stepping up for the position of Vice President or Program Director.
Contact me, we are willing to help you, we just need new members to step up. Now
that is said, I made several large piles of chips. Some of the prettiest toothpicks I have
ever seen. Just kidding. Working on wedding gifts and Christmas presents and a
special project for someone who is retiring from her current job. Shhhh! Lots of good
wood turning is going on, check out the AAW website. Keep making those chips.
