agenda and procedures. Some of they highlights are”
It was decided by our member that it sounds like
an interesting way to run the club but more research on the matter needs to be
explored.
New
Business
Pres.
Hudson asks for a list of the members who belong to the AAW so he could forward
correspondences to them.
The AAW has
promoted an award to be given to a member of the club called “The Quiet
Stalwart Award” The following is the criteria for such an award for one of our
fellow members. As stated by the AAW:
“Every
chapter has a few. You know the guy or gal who is first to pitch in and the
last to quit at the end of the task. It takes a lot of effort by a lot of
people to make a chapter successful but usually there are on or more “quiet
stalwarts.” They are the backbone of most chapters. When nobody else will take
on a task, they will. When everyone else has burned out, they keep plugging.
Not once but time after time, year after year. Always giving to share the joy
of woodturning. We know how important they are to the chapters and we’d like to
help the chapter recognize them. If you have one or two members like that, let
us know. We’ll send a Certificate of Appreciation that the chapter can
personalize and award to that member. We’ll also create an area on the website
to honor these folks in tan ongoing manner. A photo and a short write up will
be posted and will help honor their service to the chapter. We’ll put a link on the website for the chapter President or
designee to place their recommendation.”
We as a
club felt we have just the person that personifies these attributes. Jim
Hilburger was awarded this certificate as the first member of our club to be
worthy of this recognition. Congratulation Jim, you definitely deserve this
honor.

ELMER’S
CORNER
This
month’s tip was contributed by Jake Debski: Applying Wipe-on Finishes
To apply a
wipe on finish he uses a round cotton make-up pad. The can be found in most
drugstores and grocery stores. He says to use 2-3 pads when applying the
finish. To use on flat work projects and turned projects you can also put the
pads inside a nylon stocking to apply the finish.
Thanks Jake
for this tip. If any of you have a tip you want to share, please e-mail them to
me. kummer219@msn.com
