April 2005
Our vice president, Tom Schottle presided over the meeting while Dave Jones went to get a chuck for the demonstrator to use on the mini lathe.
There were about 22 persons present. Visitors were Andi Wolfe and her husband.
We understand that T.K. is still having a rough time. Myke Hymes will not be able to join us for a while, as he must spend all his time with his wife. He does not even get to his shop now.

The Newsletter will be sent by email to those members who have given me their email address. Those who do not have email addresses listed with me will receive the usual hardcopy newsletter by US snailmail. Any others who wish a newsletter by mail should let me know.
This email contains links to pictures of the "Show and Tell" items. The Newsletter with pictures is also available on the website.
Because of the difficulty at each meeting of trying to get photos of all the items in the show and tell, this has been discontinued. I may take a couple of group photos of the whole table of items and put that only in the newsletter and on the website.
Instead of trying to add photos of all the show and tell items to the members’ gallery, I will rely on photos sent in by the members. So please send me pictures of your work so that I can add it to the gallery.
