Newsletter March 2009 Vol. 14 No. 3 Meeting Information: Saturday, March 28 from 9 am to Noon
Annual Tool and Wood Swap Meet
+ Show and Tell
Location: Joe Levy's 4909 Mira Sol Dr., Moorpark, CA
For the swap meet, bring your
excess wood and unused tools for sale to club members. Ten percent of the
sale price goes to the club treasury. It might be wise to carpool if
possible because parking was tight last year. Bring a chair. The February 28 meeting featured Al Geller demonstrating tips and tricks related to bowl turning. Click Here to see Sam Turner's write-up of the event and a copy of Al's notes. For photos of the meeting, Click Here, and for even more photos illustrating Al's points, Click Here. New Member: David Harms Whimsical Project
Remember to bring your Whimsical piece to this month's
club meeting. Even though it is the swap meet, we will still be doing our show
and tell. If you didn't get a chance to do a whimsical piece, please bring
your latest work to the show and tell.
Avocado Bowls
Many of you who where at the February meeting brought home some avocado from Tim
Albers. Tim has been generous year after year supplying the club with
avocado and making a cash donation to the club. Tim uses the bowls we
provide as thank-you gifts to the customers of Mission Produce. You do not have
to make anything fancy, a simple shape is appreciated. Let's
really show our support this year for Tim and bring a finished bowl to the March
or April meeting. My effort is drying in grocery bags and it should
be dried and oiled by the March meeting. And I still have a piece left for
myself!
Membership Chair
Please join the Board in welcoming Stan Wolpert as the Club's
Membership Chairperson.
Stan has graciously volunteered to assist in integrating new members into the
club. Stan will be responsible for signing up new members and helping to
make them feel welcome in the club and at our meetings. Stan will also let
new members know of the resources available through the club, help partner them
with a mentor if needed, and keep track of lending out the club lathe.

26 - Sunday June 28.
