Greetings This last month has been a blur trying to get the website up and running, but I think we’re there. More about the website below.

Newsletter Vol 39 / Issue 07 2024
Greetings This is Tuesday, July 9th and I’ve been working on the newsletter off and on most of the day. Most things are going well, some not so much. One of the sticking points this month is the Turning Bee. You’ll see below the results of a LONG email thread. We had some top-notch people […]

Greetings Well, it’s been a couple busy weeks for several of the club members. We’d like to thank Paul Credle for his generous donation of his entire shop.

Newsletter Vol 39 / Issue 05 2024
Greetings Well, I’m finally experiencing one of my recurring fears – I forgot about the newsletter! I could list all my excuses (and a few or them are pretty good,) but in the end fact remains; I forgot the newsletter. But it could have been worse. It could have been 6:30 pm on Tuesday the […]

Greetings O my! Another December is here and another year is almost gone. I’m sure most of you jolly elves have been in your shops making the chips fly. We’d like to see some of your work at our December Super Show n Tell. On a sadder note, we’ve lost several members this year. The […]
Newsletter Vol 38 / Issue 11 2023
Greetings It seems like time speeds up a notch once the Fall holidays start rolling Thanksgiving is just a week away now and Christmas will be right behind. However, it may be possible to slow down this steamroller effect. You just have to focus on things you really hate to do. Or maybe things that […]
Newsletter Vol 38 / Issue 10 2023
Greetings As we move into the Fall season, I’m sure woodworkers are spending more time in the shop. This would be a good month to bring in Show & Tell. Also bring your checkbook or the one who carries the family checkbook. We’ll be auctioning off a lot of smalls from the recent donation to […]
