[crw-talk] August 2021 Meeting

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Greetings CRW members,

Your board met last night via Zoom and the August meeting is ready to go 
on the usual day and time, Saturday August 21 at the Community Center.  
Yup, we are locked and loaded and ready to proceed with vigor.  The 
meeting will officially begin at 9AM.  But we need to get set up so 
please plan to arrive early to assist.  The doors will open at 8AM.  We 
will follow CDC guidelines for safety, please follow masking and 
distancing recommendations in place for that day.

The meeting will be livestreamed over Zoom for those who cannot or 
prefer not to attend.  El Presidente James will take care of that, watch 
for the Zoom notification.  You may recall the June meeting was 
streamed.  Streaming is a work in progress and we expect it to be even 
better this time around.  If you watch via streaming, please let us know 
how the experience was for you so we can improve.

Our talented assistant Librarian, Jack will demonstrate the making of 
rings.  He has his AV materials all set to go.   This promises to be an 
interesting and informative day.

Jack and Virginia remind us to bring back any library items that were 
checked out before the pandemic so if you have anything that you may 
have around, and perhaps forgotten about, items, please bring them to 
the meeting.  Jack mentioned that we have many "new" woodturning 
magazines as we have continued the subscriptions through the pandemic.

If you have any tools checked out, Duane will check them in and remember 
you can borrow tools as well.

Remember we are not collecting dues for 2021, your 2020 membership is 
carrying over.  We are accepting donations from members to help 
underwrite club activities, and expect to resume regular dues for 2022.

Future demos include Duane Hill demonstrating making Platters in 
September, we know Duane is a crowd pleaser.  In October we have Mark 
Palma demonstrating the use of Carbide Tools.  Mark has done a lot of 
research of different carbide tools and published articles on that topic 
which he will share with us.  Mark always gives a great demo as 
well.Adrian Novak will do his long awaited Basket Weave Illusion demo in 
November.  This was scheduled since 2019 so we presume that with all 
that time lapse, he has mastered the art of basket weave illusion even 
more.  December will be our annual potluck meeting.  Next year John 
Fisher is  going to tell us everything we need to know about plant 
stands, Duane will revisit texturing and will demonstrate coring.  We 
have Alan Lacer scheduled for a full day in person demo, topic to be 
determined.  There will be a fee for that.  We will be considering some 
other pros too, most likely remote, to be played to us at the Center.

So y'all, I am pretty excited about this and hope to see you in our 
upcoming meetings.

Your obedient servant, John
