ANNOUNCEMENTS:
VP, John O’Neil informed us that he has programs set for first part of
the year.
Feb.: Rich Mialki will demo his earrings and other small things
Jake Debski informed members that a copy of the by laws can be found on
the website. They can be found in the Jan. 2005 newsletter
It was announced that Jim Hilburger will be one of the demonstrators at
this year’s AAW symposium to be held in
From Jake
Debski:
I think
this is important enough to post on the next news letter. We have been
operating under the assumption that any club member is covered by AAW
Insurance.
Although the policy contains the usual definitions and exclusions that one
would
anticipate in an insurance policy of any kind, it includes an endorsement that
expands the
scope of its coverage to all AAW members. The precise language of
the endorsement
adds to the definition of an insured: "any of your members, but only with
respect to that
member's liability for your activities, or activities performed by that member
on your
behalf." To put this in plain language, each chapter and each AAW member
is covered as
an insured, under the policy, so long as they are performing chapter approved
activities.
Members are not covered for their own private activities. Note that
chapter members,
who are not AAW members, are neither covered nor protected by the
policy.
Old Business
Bob
Weisedel announced the shirt order was in and, if ordered one, they could be
obtained from him. Also, if anyone wants to get a shirt, 12 people are needed to
order.
New Business
Carl Voss, from the AAW, sent a letter to clubs asking them
how the chapters reinvest in woodturning education. Although we have had some
events that include young turners, it was decided that this did not apply to
our club at this time. He was looking for articles from clubs that support and
sponsor woodturning educational events.
Lance Kanaby informed the member about the demo that the
Pembroke club is sponsoring with guest turner, Don Geiger in April 20th.
Tickets for this event can be purchased from Lance or Rich Mialki
The question was brought up whether or not the dues for club membership
should be increased. The reason: the club could contribute more to the cost of
hands on demos.
This will be discussed further at a future time. Think about it!
Ron suggested a summer picnic for member and their families instead of
the regular meeting we have during the summer when the school is closed. It is
something to ponder. Eventually he would like to combine the picnic with the
other local clubs of WNY. He suggested his church’s shelter in Marilla. We will discuss it more in Feb. meeting and make a
decision.

showed the member how to make napkin rings. They make great gifts and would be
a great fair item. Thanks John for a very informative and helpful demo.
ELMER’S CORNER
From Paul
Mazuchowski: If you can't get a piece off of your screw chuck, use a strap
wrench. It won't mark up the wood. Just make sure you use it on a
solid part of your piece or you will implode it.
Chuck your
end mill for pens in your drill press. Make sure it is on a lower speed.
Put your glued up blank in your drilling jig and drill away the ends in no
time.
Respectfully
submitted,
Muriel Kummer
