This is a reminder that our meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday, 24 September 2024. We will meet at St. Marks United Methodist Church in our usual room; 1267 N. Rutherford Blvd. Murfreesboro, TN. The doors open at 6 PM. From 6 to 6:30 is a good time for checking out the Show & Tell projects and asking questions from our Show & Tell members on how they do some of their woodworking. The meeting’s briefing will start at 6:30 PM.
Notes from our President, Sam Clark:
September 2024 President’s Letter
Good day fellow Woodies…..This summer has been a hot one slowing down club activities. But rest assured we have a full schedule set for the remainder of the year!
Many of you have been asking about upcoming Shop Tours.
Shop Tours: Start Saturday September 28th and will run for the following (3) Saturdays (Oct 5th, 12th, and 19th). Additional details will be announced at our Tuesday nightmeeting. I will say that efforts have been made to ensure you see shops of all types from large spacious shops to small compact shops, all of these make excellent use of available space. Ideas abound on how to set up your shop area for maximum use.
Mark your calendar for Saturday Oct 26th as the club will have a booth at Canonsburg Harvest Day Festival. Please come out and support the club and bring items to sell. We are asking for a $5 donation to the club for those bringing items to sell in the booth. You keep all the proceeds from anything you sell….it doesn’t get any simpler than that. The Harvest Day Festival always has the best turnout. Also, you are asked to help with set-up starting at 8am.
You heard the rumors of classes, and I am happy to report classes are set. The Christmas “Snow Buddies “(miniature snow men) and “Gnome” classes had the greatest interest at prior meetings. Tentatively, class dates are Oct 31st, Nov 1st and 2ndand the following week Nov 7th, 8thand 9th. Each class is limited to (4) participants. If we need to add another class, it will be the following week. The class fee will be $25 to cover materials and lunch. There will be a sign-up sheet at the meeting and if you are unable to attend this meeting the sign-up sheet will be available at the Oct. meeting.
Great news from Mary Nichols: At last count SRWC has over 300 Facebook followers. Great job Mary!!!
AN EXTRA SPECIAL, SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR CLUB OFFICERS!!!
This club would not exist without the help of our volunteers. 2025 is just around the corner and our officers have served several years helping to keep the club active through COVID. In the last (4) years our membership has almost doubled! As 2025 nears many of our officers are ready to pass the torch. Please consider volunteering for one of the open positions. Current officers have volunteered to mentor interested members. Shadowing a current officer is a great way to ease into a position. If you would like to learn more about a particular office do not hesitate to ask the officer…. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
THE CLUB NEEDS YOUR INVOLVEMENT.
There will be additional announcements at the meeting.
Making sawdust,
Sam Clark, President SRWC
