Judy Davis has asked that she look into
changing our club account to the AEDC credit union. Our bank is not
giving us the service it had before. The membership voted hat we change our
accounts.
The club voted to
participate in the Artisan of the Month Club at Falls Mill. It will be on
Saturday, July 15 this year. Janey promises it won’t rain as it did last year,
and we all believe Janey.
Crotia asked that the club
be a sponsor for a board game program for 4-H-camps. This will involve donating
scrap lumber, making wood patterns, etc.
If there is anyone that
would like to teach Richard how to make bread, or give him some good some
recipes to try out, just get in touch
with him. Bob Reese then horned in with sorne pIane talking about old tools and
old healing fingers. Winfield shared the disturbing fact that his children do
not write to him but call, and that he has figured out how much a roll of
stamps cost. He also spilled the beans on Phil’s scrap box. We all need to call
on Phil and look at it. May not even call ahead. Ross designed and built a
beautiful hall table for his daughter, and Judy and Henry brought a lamp that
they remade and decorated. Henry also was feeling mean at the meeting and
brought a puzzle that caused many bad words to be thought. Billy May again
brought a carved piece that he can’t find the buyer for. We need to get him an
order book and make him write down his commissions in it.
Program
If you missed the March
meeting, you lost out. John Sargent
showed us how to make his gorgeous segmented bowls and I know that many of us
went home and began to do some designing around his ideas.
The next meeting will be
Tuesday, April 18 at 7pm at the Decherd church.
