December 09 Newsletter final final

Presidents Message

Hello everyone

Well this will be my final president’s message and new leadership for the club will be starting in January.  December is a time for most of us to be making shavings and trying to get those last minute christmas presents finished. Some of us will even be trying to get the finish to dry on christmas eve. I am one of the last minute procrastinators when it comes to this.  My biggest dilema is what do I make  Hmmmmmm,  still undecided and I need to get started.  Should it be pens, bowls, scoops, candle sticks, no no …………..maybe????? oh there are so many choices on things to make.  I can see my future on this dilema,   no matter what I decide, it will be to work all night and turn all day in order to get things done. I hope that you are not on this same trail that I am and that all of your projects are successes.

 I would like to thank each and everyone of you  for your support and commitment of  the great organization that we have, it made my job as president easy. I had a great time over the past 3 years doing this and I got to meet many fine people and  turners that are now friends.

I would like you to welcome our new group of board members and ask that you make them welcome in their new positions within the club. Lets give them our full support . They are

Tom Pratt,  President

Crusty Hamon,  VP/program director

John Pickrell,  Treasure

Lynn Tozer and Susan McCoy,  Newsletter/Librarian

 

Thank you

Brian

Just an updated message on the turn for the troops t-shirts,  the price of the shirts is a little more than first expected.    They will be in the $12.00 to $13.00 dollar range instead of the $10.00.  so with this in mind would everyone that signed up for one contact me with a yea or nea on whether or not you still want the shift so they can be ordered.  use the e-mail tag on the website to let me know.

Thanks

Picnic information

.   Summer is winding down and the gardens are being harvested,   so planning  is started for our summer picnic. We will be having a picnic and it will be September 12^th starting at 2:00 pm.  The club will supply the meat,chips  and drinks and dinner ware.  A-M please bring a side dish or salad  and N-Z please bring a desert.

The picnic will be at my house and the address is 9531 W. Halstead Dr. Boise Idaho 83704.  On a demo there is one not on the schedule yet but thinking it will be informal as on the first Tuesday’s we do.

As I let you all know at the last meeting Officer elections for the club will be in October and this will give the incoming officers time to work with the out going officers to take the reins and run with them.

The first Tuesday  is back on track.  The summer heat is fading slowly.
