<p>Thanks for the verification, Kris. I had a memory of Ansel's
family donating back about the time he passed but I certainly do
not recall the amount. If we would need to, the treasurer could
go through the records to determine what was donated; but I do not
see the need for it. (It took place after my terms as
treasurer.) As I said before, in my opinion, we have enough cash
on hand to safely spend $500-$700 for an AV upgrade.</p>
<p>But I also agree with Jay (if I recall correctly) that we would
also be wise to do some fundraising such as selling wood to
replenish the treasury.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Thanks Aaron for posting the fine newsletter
for July. Tis a good read.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>John, your wig stand, duly counted. Nice
pics sent of the lovely lady receiver and
stand. She is lucky to have one made with love
from a fine craft person as in John
Griffiths.. Our total count now stands at
196 from inception in December 2022. Maybe
this month we will break 200?! I need to step
up to do my part. Perhaps the August club
challenge of making a W Stand will help.
Members, please note, they don’t have to be
fancy, unless ya want to “strut your stuff” </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I read with keen interest, the AV stuff. I
would think the camera Rich noted would do,
albeit, we’re stuck with cables, no biggy. I
think 2 would be needed- 1 overhead as
mentioned by John, but also another one pegged
to the live center, pointed down the barrel to
the head stock. Either hang em high, we have
the DJ truss system, or use boom type device
as listed by Rich. If boom tripod(s), putem on
wheels. Much simpler to move around, not so
herky jerky on the screen during the move.
Thank you Rich for doing the research and
submitting the info for the newsletter. </p>
<p>Those who have attended live AAW symposia as
some of us have, will have seen booms used;
very effective but often 2 individuals needed
as those booms are more complicated with
camera, iPad, and controller. Our needs are
more spartan.</p>
<p>Plus we will need a digital controller, maybe
a laptop or stand alone., I dunno. If software
driven controller and placed on a
computer/laptop; we may be able in the <u>future</u>
put short meeting clips on YouTube as some
clubs do?! Just a pipedream thought. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As ya’ll may recall, Pam put a motion forth
last month which passed overwhelmingly to
purchase <u>1 </u>camera. The club <u>must</u>
now go forth, as the majority voted Aye, I was
the loan dissenter, but only because of a
nebulous funding source. </p>
<p>Now, the interesting part. John mentioned a
family gift from the heirs of our wonderful
member, since passed, Ansel Heram, turner
extraordinaire. All is true of what John
stated about Ansel. I first met Ansel in 1974
at Western Tech College, as me a new hire,
Ansel a seasoned and respected faculty
member. He or at his direction had students
make a utility project for our program, which
we used daily for many years. Funny what
memories are jogged from 50 yrs ago. </p>
<p>John mentioned the family gift of dough. I
don’t doubt John’s accuracy of the gift, after
all, he was a very capable club treasurer for
many years. However, this is news to me, and
myself on the board for several years, don’t
recall a line item of gift funds received or
reserved for such use. In my several years on
the board, we had annual brainstorming
discussions and developed our club budget in
open board meetings. This process served the
club very well. Big ticket guest turners such
as Alan Lacer, Jimy Clewes, and Cindy Drozda,
all 3 which included workshops were costly.
Much thought and discussion surrounded those
opportunities, room and board, travel,
materials, and food for not only the Sat demo,
but also workshop required planning. I won’t
go on, but know, these things don’t just
happen; it takes a <u>team</u>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some board members and I have asked for a
budget for some time now, maybe way over a
year plus which would have verified such gift
monies as well as other line items dollars,
such as program (guest demonstrators) budget
line, refreshments line, insurance line, etc.
</p>
<p>Members, please know, the Traveling Turners a
subunit of the CRW under the fine leadership
of Pam Day has been largely self-funded. The
Traveling Tuners success has been noted; think
the 4H Clover turning with kids at Bangor
Elementary School, Feb 2024, and the upcoming
LaX County Fair demo next week. I’m sure Pam
would like to see a few more of us showing up,
if nothing else to cheer the turners on and
maybe talk to folk’s bout turning, and help
garner some new club members? What da ya say
folks?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back to the budget, as of now, none has been
produced. Albeit, we know with some certainty,
the coffers have bout $3K. I’m asking once
again, in this open forum for the accounting
of such budget lines, including the <u>gift
monies total </u>from the Heram family.
Augmenting the Heram family donation with
treasury monies can certainly get us started,
with <u>1</u> camera as Pam’s motion defined.
Had I been aware of such gift monies at last
month’s meeting I would have voted Aye also. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Board, it’s time to come forth with a full
disclosure of an itemized budget. The board
will likely have a meeting with week, please
add to your Agenda. Am hoping the board will
comply with this small request.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you, -raasch</p>
