Spring Break on our usual week.
Vice
President’s Report
Rusty and
Brian will be going to the Woodworkers Symposium on March 30 – April 1.
The session
at Barb’s Barn has been cancelled.
Old Business
Since
Muriel Kummer was the previous secretary, her photo has been listed. A photo of
the new secretary will be taken and posted as soon as possible.
There
has been no information on the outcome of our grant.
New
Business
The
question of what to make for the fair has come up. Anything made out of wood
would be appropriate. If toys are made, they should be large enough not to be
able to be swallowed. Also, the use of finish should not be toxic.
The picnic
for this year will be on August 23. President Ron will make the reservations.
Further information will follow.
