Picnic

We had another great picnic. About 25 - 30 persons were present. There was wonderful food and conversation. Even the weather was good.

Once again we want to thank Joe and Mary Smith for all the work they put into making this picnic a success!

NEXT MEETING – ANNUAL PICNIC September 13th, 2008 at 10:00am Keith Bundy will demonstrate Small Boxes Cedar Lakes

Business

• Business (other than eating) was postponed until the September meeting.

• About $3600 was taken in by our exhibitors at our booth at the Arts and Crafts Fair in July. There was a $136 discrepancy. It was moved and passed that this be absorbed by the Club treasury.

 

Next Meeting

Keith Bundy from Cincinnati will give a program on Small Boxes.

 

Show and Tell

Ervin Jones brought a very nice natural edge bowl from Ash.
	He also had an attractive Ash bowl with a Walnut base. Apparently while turning a bowl, the bottom got too thin, so he accepted the challenge and made a footed base for it. Nice recovery.
Ervin also brought three nice Christmas tree ornaments.
Jerry Smith showed us a marvelous large (22") Black Oak bowl.
John Crede brought a wonderful laminated cup and saucer and spoon set. The spoon was his grand daughter’s idea.
Byron Young had three very nice Cherry hollowform vases.
He also had a beautiful Cherry plate
	and a deer call from Cocobola.
Dave Jones brought in an attractive potpourri
	and a nice plate; both turned from a Walnut crotch.
Dan Pleska brought in a nice pen turned from red Acrylic.
Carl Mercer showed us an attractive pen,
	a bud vase,
a pepper mill,
	and a pin holder.
