[crw-talk] March Meeting

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Members, Good Sunday afternoon to you.

A reminder of our upcoming meeting about two weeks from now, Saturday 
March 20, usual time and on Zoom.  Our professional demonstrator will be 
Lyle Jamieson and he will virtually demonstrate how he creates a hollow 
form.   He is a master at hollowing and this entire demo will be 
detailed and oriented toward our club.  He will take questions during 
the demo, as if he were in a live meeting and we were right there two or 
three rows away from the lathe.  So we won't be able to watch it on a 
big screen from the front of the room, but it will be the next best 
thing.  It will last about two hours and we will have the briefest of 
business meetings before.  President Bloomer will moderate the questions 
and pass them along to him.  It will be broadcast from his shop; and he 
has the equipment and know how to make it a good experience.  And if the 
workpiece comes flying out of his lathe, it won't hit one of us sitting 
in the line of fire in front of the lathe.

Coulee Region Woodturners is paying for this demo and it is free and 
open to all members.  He did ask that we not invite other clubs to tune 
in.  Reasonable enough I believe.

Keep an eye on your email.  He will send a meeting invitation to one of 
our officers which will in turn be distributed to the CRW mailing list.  
Keep an eye open for it's arrival, (and don't accidentally delete it, 
like I am prone to doing).

Still not comfortable with Zoom?  Or just in need of some woodturning 
socialization?  On Wednesday March 10 at 7:00 PM we will have a social 
hour consisting of talk about woodturning, showing off your work, more 
woodturning talk and maybe even some mindless chatter.  James will send 
out an invitation so try tuning in and getting used to the Zoom system 
so you will be up and ready for the Jamieson demo nine days later.  Full 
disclosure here, I found Zoom a bit daunting in the beginning but after 
some meetings and family gatherings, it got pretty easy.

New to Zoom?  Just download Zoom.us on your computer ahead of time and 
have your computer save it.  A few minutes before the meeting begins 
click on the line of blue type on the invitation, give your computer or 
other device time to think about it, and you will have to give you 
system permission a couple of times by clicking on boxes that come up on 
the screen.  Bye and bye the event will show up on your screen.  Make 
sure you turn on the microphone and camera so others can hear you 
wonderful voice and see your smiling countenance.  Still have questions, 
shoot them to me and I'll answer them or get someone who knows what they 
are doing to help you out.

John
