“CORRECTION” Last month we reported Clair Bluhm was lucky to win a mini lathe at Rockler’s, Sorby Tool demonstration. Wrong!! It was Pat Boggan who won and she has donated it to Barb’s Barn for use in the educational sessions there. Thanks Pat and sorry for the error.

Bob Rosand received an AAW grant for a "Intermediate Kids Hands on Barn Session" to be held Saturday, June 9^th. There is no charge for the workshop. The barn, Bob's time, travel, and talent are being donated. Students must be "intermediate turners" i.e. already turning, have regular access to a lathe & tools.

The Audubon Library has a display case for use by WNYWT in November if we would like to show our work. A volunteer is needed to head this effort.
