LATE BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!! As of August 26^th, 2007

We needed your help for the Erie County Fair and we got it. THANKS TO ALL WHO MADE ITEMS AND ALL WHO WERE THERE. THANKS!!!!! This year we broke the record again. Through the efforts of the four (4) clubs, Turners 1, Turners 2, Pembroke and Lockport we sold the items that were donated and collected $10,855 for “Make-A-Wish” Everyone should be proud of the effort we “Woodturner’s” made. A special thanks go to Jim Hilburger, Rich Mialki, Bob Ball and Gary Jones for their expertise. The lights helped, covering the area with canvas and tarps saved time and the sharing of ideas to price & sell was absolutely great. Again “THANKS TO ALL”

Next Meeting: Thursday September 6^th, 2007

Demo by Jim Vasi, making open segmented bowls.

Respectfully, Dick Radel
