PICNIC & JUNE MEETING

 Stones River Woodworking Club Members,

Our annual SRWC Picnic and Silent Auction will be on Saturday July 26^th at St. Marks United Methodist Church; 1267 N. Rutherford Blvd. Murfreesboro, TN. and will be in our regular meeting room from 11:00 AM till 4:00 PM. The Picnic will take the place of our normal July Meeting.

Members are asked to bring a side dish or dessert to the Picnic.

The Club will provide BBQ, drinks and eating utensils/paper ware.

Members please consider donating items to the Club for our annual Silent Auction, which will coincide with the Picnic. The auction is our only annual fundraiser.

We still need more donations for the Silent Auction. You can bring anything you think our members may bid on. It could be woodworking related or just something of value you want to donate. The Silent Auction is a lot of fun to see who the highest bidder on the items will be.

If you want to donate something to the Silent Auction, and will need it to be moved or stored, the Club will accommodate that. Just contact one of our SRWC Executive Committee Members.

Set up for the picnic will begin at 11:00, with lunch at noon.
