Business Items:

Jim Vasi reported the lathe purchase has been changed to a 10-14 that only weighs 75 pounds. The Jet 12-20 lathe weighs 125 pounds which would not be good when we take it to the fair.

Rich Mialki has screwdriver that can be upgraded to wood handles and sold at the fair. See or call him to make arrangements.

Bob Ball announced that he has made 44 DVD’s of our old VHS tapes and will be distributing a new list of these discs shortly. He also has pen kits for those people who would make pens to sell at the fair and benefit Make-A-Wish.

Jim Shimwell thanked all who helped make and deliver 550 toys to the Aspire Kids. WELL DONE CLUB!
