Vice
President’s Report
Ron will be
going to the AAW Symposium March 31-April 1. Anyone interested in going and
sharing gas and expenses should contact him.
Please let
Ron know if anyone has suggestions on demonstrations they would be interested
in seeing.
Ron would
appreciate anyone interested in helping him get demonstators.
Librarian’s
Report
Paul has
purchased three new videos for the library. They are all very informational.
Please check them out.
The
librarian position is open for anyone interested in helping the club get the
most up to date and informational videos and books. If you are interested, let
Paul or Ron know.
Communications
A letter was
received from the Mid South Woodturners. They have lost a good member, Joan
Gilmer Kelly to an accident while working on her lathe. They have collected and
are distributing $100.00 grants for a safety shield to be used on demonstration
lathes. They have also compiled a safety check list. Brian will make copies of
this list and pass them out at the next meeting.
Because of
the above communication, it was suggested that it might be a good idea to have
a session on lathe safety, and other safety issues.
A letter
has been sent to all AAW members regarding several insurance policies that are
available. If you didn’t get the letter and are interested let Ron know.
Tom Baker
did a TV video on Breast Cancer Awareness in men. If any organization is
interested, there are a group of men who will come and give a talk on this
issue.
Old Business
Dues
should be in by February.
Last
month it was decided the president should request a grant for a new lathe and
some repair parts for 2 existing lathes. Ron sent in the request on January 6,
2012. The request was to be in by Janurary 15. The request is for $841.35. The
items to be purchased from the Rockler Store II @ a discount are as follows:
#23361
Jet 1014vs @ $529.99 for $450.49
#20761
Talon Chuck @ $206.99 for $155.25
#20777
˝ Drill Chuck @ $31.49 for $23.62

In
addition $200.00 for repair parts
We
will be notified within 2-3 months. Regardless, we can re-apply for grants
every year for up to $1,500.00 max.
Ron
will be contacting other clubs to see if there would be any interest in a joint
turning session sometime during the spring or summer.
New
Business
Brian has
asked that anyone bringing something in for show and tell please fill out the
sign-up sheet with name, type of wood and item. It will help when doing the
minutes and would be greatly appreciated.
Brian has
also made several copies of the by-laws. Anyone wanting one just ask.
As a
reminder to all members, the fair is coming up fast. Please start turning for
the fair. The Make a Wish Foundation really appreciates what we do for them.
