Hello Carvers
While it feels like summer already it can’t be because we haven’t had our SHOWCASE yet. Just one month and two weeks to go. The teams are working harder than ever, and amazing things are happening.
Keith Jones and Steve Stillitano have been making an unbelievable effort to reach out to companies far and wide to stock the raffle table and silent auction with some donations that will stun you and make you wish you spent more money on raffle tickets while they are at a discount which ends March 15th. Hint: (even NASCAR has contributed).
Steve and Bob Warner are selling raffle tickets like crazy and you have two weeks to get in at the discounted price.
Everyone should remember our Showcase is the largest in the southeast and it takes a huge effort from every member who can volunteer to make it a SUCCESS. We all must work first and spectate second. So come on out, we need everybody. If you can’t contribute with the labor then carve like never before and enter the competition. Also, help Steve build the best raffle with donations of your work for the raffle. There are many ways to help.
I was at the Parks and Recreation facility near my home and saw a club advertisement on the bulletin board. I checked them out and have been a member ever since.
A friend in the neighborhood invited me to a meeting. Now Tuesdays don't quite feel right if I miss a meeting.
I attended a Showcase where someone at the membership table encouraged me to join. A member since 2015
After attending the showcase several times and nearing retirement, I joined the club. My first show yielded several ribbons!
A former member invited me 20+ years ago, and I joined. Life got in the way and carving was put aside, but my interest has sparked again recently.
