<body>Members, Good Sunday afternoon to you.<div><br /></div><div>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. </div><div><br /></div><div>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.</div><div><br /></div><div>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).</div><div><br /></div><div>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. </div><div><br /></div><div>New to Zoom? Just download <a href="Zoom.us">Zoom.us</a> 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 <span>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.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div>John </div></body></html>
