[crw-talk] June meeting

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Members,

The board met last night and made some decisions about the June meeting.

We have the Lion's Club Shelter just north of the Community Center 
Parking lot reserved.  So the meeting will be outdoors.  BRING YOUR OWN 
CHAIR.  We will be following CDC Guidelines in place at the time of the 
meeting.

We have a hands on demo scheduled.  Duane Hill will assist all 
interested in using the club owned Sorby Texturing Tool and other 
texturing tools the club may own.  He will also bring some of his tools, 
many along the lines of those discussed by Mike Peace in his remote for 
us demo last Saturday.  Bring your own texturing tools too.   We will 
have blanks mounted in chucks for practice, then we will turn off the 
texturing applied and the next tool and or person sill be used.  We will 
be using a club owned Jet Midi lathe which we will wheel out to the 
shelter.

Remember, the club owned tools are intended for lending so any member 
may borrow them.  "Any member" is anyone who was a paid member in 2020 
or has since joined.  Remember, the club the owns the tools for the 
purpose of lending.

The library will be open and the cart will be wheeled to just outside 
the Community Center.  If you have any library materials checked out 
from the last meeting, you may return them at the meeting.  Any member 
may also check out materials.

James will use his phone to live stream the meeting.  That is, he will 
"film" it, so to speak, and send it out for viewing as it happens, so 
members who choose not to attend in person may attend virtually through 
your internet connection and speak or ask questions.   The board has 
plans to do this on an ongoing basis and will begin bringing more pros 
remotely to the Community Center in this manner in the future.

We will begin our June meeting at 8:00 AM.  We will need our Coffee Crew 
to come out of retirement and set up coffee at the shelter.  James will 
be there with the building key at 8:00.  We will need volunteers to 
assist in set up.  The meeting will be called to order at 9:00 AM.  
James will be busy so it appears he may need a volunteer videographer to 
handle the live streaming.

We will indeed have an Instant Gallery.  Most of us have been flexing 
our creative muscles during the pandemic so be sure to bring your work 
and discuss it when the time comes.

  I mentioned we are planning more remote professional demos at the 
Community Center.  Who might we consider in the forseeable future?  Give 
me names.  I already plan to look into Alan Lacer and Ashley Harwood.  
Although our club demo schedule has been set up (with several club 
members) we will alter it a bit if a pro opportunity comes up.

If you plan to attend in person and have wood or something to sell, we 
will do that just like we used to back in the day.  (I plan to bring a 
couple of items for sale and 25% of the take goes to the club.)

John
