Super meeting Saturday, thanks to all the officers and members for making the trip to Avon so worthwhile. I know we all appreciate the hospitality of the church and them allowing us to use the very nice facility. When there is a meeting and folks come hundreds of miles to attend, well, we have a good thing happening. I'm sure Dave will have the photos up for us to enjoy and remind us of the fun we had. The idea Matthew had to allow everyone to mingle for an hour before starting the official meeting was, in my opinion, near genius. There was a lot to see and a lot discuss that works to encourage us to get back at it after that winter from Hades. Let's all help the chapter by getting some work ready for a September show and tell and then invite someone to ride with us. Who knows, a visiting friend may want to join the madness and make a pen.
We had a few really experienced pen makers, we had a couple who have not made their first pen yet and lots of turners who are somewhere in between for a total of about 35 people. We had one crazy Kentuckian who made the trek and one even crazier guy from the Cleveland Ohio area, that's like a 4 hour plus drive, just to see what we were up to; thanks for your Herculean efforts.
Just like the Rose Bowl, the leaders are already planning the next get together, let's support them in any way they ask us to help out.
