[crw-talk] Thanks

[Pam Day]

Big thank yous!The first foray by the Coulee Region Woodturning club at the 4H clover College 2024 was a wonderful experience.   Club members and the students seemed to have a fun time.   Kids seemed to be especially excited by the blue smoke that billowed as they wire burned some decorative lines on their projects.  Bob R. prepped all the blanks and kids could choose from blanks to make key chains, toothpick holders or Harry Potter wands.  We had prepped a few blanks for hobo reels and after a small mishap that turned a spool of fishing line into a frenetic slinky of frustration.   Lesson learned.
I would like to thank the Clover College staff and volunteers for inviting us to this fun and worthwhile activity.  The day was very well organized and the kids were excited , polite, and asked if we would be at the College next year!  We took that to mean they liked the experience. 
I would like to thank Jim Cox and John Clough for wood for the blanks,  John Fisher for his modification of the WEN lathe, and Aaron Gesicki, Bob Raasch, Bob Patros, Janine Skemp and Liam Maricle for helping with the students.    It was nice to get together for the event and I am looking forward to next year.
