TENNESSEE VALLEY WOODWORKERS AUGUST 1992
MARK TWIN ONCE SAID “
THUNDER IS GOOD, THUNDER IS IMPRESSIVE;
BUT IT IS
LIGHTNING THAT DOES THE WORK. SO IT’S
SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND RUMBLING LIKE CRAZY, BUT LIGHTNING IS TYPING
AWAY.
IT’S GOING TO BE A BRIEF NEWSLETTER FOLKS, I’VE GOT LOTS OF
ORDERS AND TOM IS OFF TO MOTOWN TOWN THIS WEEK. LAST AUGUST,
JIM VAN
CLEAVE WAS A REAL SWEETHEART AND TOOK OVER THE NEWSLETTER.
IF MY
BELLY HAD NOT BEEN SO FULL AFTER THE PICNIC, I’M SURE I COULD
HAVE HAD ANOTHER VOLUNTEER THIS YEAR. OR WE COULD WORK ON
SOME
KIND OF NATIONAL PROCLAMATION THAT AUGUST WAS NATIONAL NO
NEWSLETTER MONTH. BUT I DIGRESS.
JULY ACTIVITIES
WE HAD A WONDERFUL DAY AT FALLS MILL AND A FANTASTIC PICNIC.
JOHN AND JANIE LOVETT ARE GREAT HOSTING TEAM AND YOU WILL
PROBABLY ENJOY THE ONLY OFFICIAL DOCUMENT THAT’S INVOLVED IN
THIS
NEWSLETTER AT THE END OF THIS EPISTLE.
OUR MEETING HAD A GOOD GROUP CONSIDERING WE HAD JUST ENJOYED
THE
PLEASURE OF OUR COMPANY THREE DAYS BEFORE. JUDY DAVIS DID
DOUBLE
COOKING DUTY LAST MONTH AND BROUGHT GOODIES TO THE MEETING
FOR
EVERYONE’S PLEASURE.
WE HAD A FINE TURNOUT FOR OUR SALE AND DEALS WERE STRUCK. I
DON’T KNOW ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE, BUT I LEARNED A VALUABLE
LESSON.
IF I EVER HAVE SOME SWAMPLAND I WANT TO GET RID OF, I’M
GOING TO
TURN IT OVER TO BOB REESE TO GET RID OF. BOB, WHO DID END UP
WITH THAT ANVIL, ANYWAY ?
SINCE SOME OF YOU WERE NOT THERE, YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN
THE
FACT THAT THE WHITES HAD LOTS OF LITTLE PICTURE FRAMING
HOOKS,
LITTLE BRASS LATCHES, AND PLANT HANGERS, AND ASSORTED
GOODIES FOR
A VERY, VERY GOOD PRICE. THEY MIGHT JUST WANT TO BRING THOSE
AGAIN SOME TIME.
AUGUST MEETING
WE WILL BE MEETING AT THE FRANKLIN COUNTY ADULT ACTIVITY
CENTER
AT OUR REGULAR TIME, 7:00 PM. ON TUESDAY, AUGUST, 18. FOR
THOSE
OF YOU WHO DON’T KNOW WHERE OR WHAT THIS IS, LET ME EXPLAIN.
THE
WHERE IS ON THE GROUNDS OF THE SITE OF HUNDRED OAKS CASTLE
RIGHT
OUTSIDE OF WINCHESTER ON HIGHWAY 64.
GO THRU THE SQUARE, AND CONTINUE ON PAST SKIPS, THE ONLY
FOUR
STAR RESTAURANT IN FRANKLIN COUNTY, AND WHEN YOU PASS DISCOUNT
SHOES TURN IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR RIGHT. GO TO THE METAL
BUILDINGS
THAT ARE DOWN PAST THE CASTLE.
MIKE ROBERTS, RUNS THE PROGRAM OUT THERE AND HE CAME TO US
LOOKING FOR SOME TECHNICAL ADVICE FOR THE PROGRAM THEY ARE
RUNNING. AFTER THE CASTLE AND RESTAURANT BURNED, THEY
STARTED A
NEW IDEA OF REFINISHING FURNITURE FOR THEIR STUDENTS. THEY
NEED
VOLUNTEERS, BUT THEY ALSO NEED HELP. THEY’RE HAVING SOME
LITTLE
PROBLEMS, LIKE GETTING CHAIRS TO STAY GLUED, AND OTHER
REFINISHING TECHNIQUES.
FOLKS, THIS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO BE OF SOME REAL HELP
IN
OUR AREA. LET’S NOT WASTE IT. I HOPE WE HAVE THE BIGGEST
CROWD
EVER. IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE SOME OF THEIR
EQUIPMENT.
THEY GOT A GOOD INSURANCE SETTLEMENT AND ARE TRULY TRYING TO
HELP
THESE ADULTS BECOME ACTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. IF YOU
HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS GIVE ME A CALL. IF YOU HAVE ANY BOOKS, OR
MAGAZINE
ARTICLES THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO DONATE TO THE INSTRUCTORS
THERE,
BRING THEM WITH YOU.
