President's Message

We voted last week and Neil McGuire is your new President. Rich DiFranco has taken on the task of Treasurer. I know they will do a great job and I will miss working with them and the rest of the members of my Board. Thank you to my Board for their help during this unusual Covid-19 time of managing the club.
“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”
Irish Blessing
Farewell and Goodbye!

Thank you for inviting me to judge your show. I had a great experience judging alongside Pete Ortell. Many times we had an indepth discussion about the pieces of art; the quality and quantity were outstanding.All the hard work that the club members put in was refliected in the smooth operation of the judging process, the impressive set up of the show and the happy faces around all weekend.
Thank you for asking me to do a demo, I enjoyed sharing what I know and do with all the others as well as listening in on sime of the other talks.

We have made our yearly donation to the church. The board donated $1000 to the church. Cameral Presbyterian Church has been so generous to our club with the space they allow us to use week after week. They received our gift and Thanked us for our donation.

I hope everyone is healthy and has been creating some woodcarvings to show us when we finally get to return.Our first event has been cancelled at Matthew’s Farmers Market on May 16th from 8AM to 12PM. This event will be repeated on October 10 from 8AM-12PM latter in the year. Hopefully by October we will be able to participate in this event. We will keep you updated.

We plan on opening up carving at the end of May at the church location by holding the club outside with proper social distancing and wearing masks. Bring your own lawn chair and come and enjoy the company of your carving friends from 3PM-7PM on Tuesdays. The Woodcraft location still will not be open to hold our meetings because we do not see a way to practice proper social distancing at that location.

We have a few items and events to look forward to in the future that I would like to share with you. Our first event that is still scheduled to take place is the Matthew’s Farmers Market on May 16th from 8AM to 12PM. Please bring a lawn chair and come to share and promote woodcarving to the public. Enjoy the fellowship with your fellow club members after being isolated for so long. This event will be repeated on October 10 from 8AM-12PM latter in the year. Thanks to Bill Robinson for being in charge of these two outreach events at the Matthew’s Farmers Market.
