September 2004
Our president, Dave Jones presided over
the meeting.
There were 19 members and five visitors
present. The visitors were John Wolf, Fred Hill, Tom Wilson,
Kerry Noble, and his son John Noble. We are certainly glad these
folks joined us.

Business
- The turnout for the picnic this
year was disappointing.
- Tom Schottle reminded us that
Chris Ramsey would be the main attraction at the October
meeting and Keith Bundy would give a demonstration at the
November meeting.
- Tom is taking ideas for our 2005
schedule. He is open to all suggestions.
- Tom applied for and won a $700
grant for the club for demonstrators for next year.
Thanks to you Tom!!
- Our treasurer was in South
Charleston selling all his turnings, so there was no
treasurer’s report.

Annual Wood and Tool
Auction
There was not much wood to be auctioned
this year. Jim Morrison donated a piece of that construction
laminate. Then there were a couple little bundles of exotic wood
mixtures. There were some nice tool bargains, though, in addition
to some nice chucks. The auction netted the organization about $290.
Thank for the tool and wood donations. And special thanks to our
auctioneer, the renowned Bob Fleming!
