Next Meeting December 18th  

The December meeting will be at 7:00 pm on the 18th at the University of Tennessee Space institute, room H111.

About The Program

Our December program is the annual “Giant Show & Tell”. This is your chance to bring those “special” items that you are so proud of and those “not so special” learning experiences that may not have turned out exactly as you planned. This is the time for you to share your woodworking “adventures” with the rest of the club. If you’re new to the Club or a visitor, here is how it works.  Instead of a regular show and tell, in which several members bring an item, we encourage EVERYONE to bring something to show.  If you don’t have a current favorite project to share, bring an item from the past; maybe the first thing you ever built or something you built years ago but that you really enjoyed doing.  Or you could bring an interesting tool or something someone gave you.  You get the idea! If, on the other hand, you’d just rather not bring something, that’s OK, too.  You can just come, enjoy the meeting, and join in the applause for those who did bring something to talk about.
See you at our December meeting on the 18th.

 ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY

   

 The annual Christmas Party was held at the Church of the Nazarene in Decherd on Friday December 7th. If you did not attend, you missed a really great party.
Thanks to Karen Browning, chairperson, and her team for doing a wonderful job coordinating the dinner and decorating for the event. The food was great, the decorations were beautiful, all the gifts were wonderful and the fellowship was really special.
The singing of Christmas songs, led by Richard Gulley and Janie Lovett, was really great. They were accompanied by Rheta Reese.

A good time was had by all attendees.
The “Grand Door Prize”, a $250 gift certificate from Woodcraft, was won by Bill Ward. Congratulations to Bill.

TVW DIGITAL LIBRARY NEWS 

  Why don't you make a New Year's resolution to try our digital library. You would be amazed at all the wealth of knowledge that can be found here. If you do not try it, you are missing a great opportunity to learn new techniques and brush up on old ones. Henry has the library “open” at each regular meeting. You can click here to view the library listings.

Please remember that you can now view some of the club DVDs on line. Go to the library listing on our club website and click on the underlined titles.
