WNY WOODTURNERS II
Meetings 7:30 PM; Second Thursday
Hamburg Middle School
360 Division Street
Hamburg, New York
Presidents Corner:
I’m sorry
that I missed the Sept. meeting. I hope you all had a geed summer and that we
can get back on schedule, with our wood turning, for the up coming year.
We have a
good group of members and have had a good program that had been on formative
and enjoyable. It is my wish that this will continue in the up coming year.
As you
know, the October meeting is the election of officers for the nest year. The
slate of candidates is as follows: Pres. – Ron Hudson; Vice Pres. - to be
nominated; Sec. - Muriel Kummer; Treas. – Pat Boggan; and Webmaster-Paul
Mazuchowski. As you see we have no one to fill the Vice Pres. Position. So I’m
asking, you the membership, to thoughtfully consider to volunteer for this office.
Our club can not properly function without a full slate of officers.
Nominations are open at the Oct. meeting and anyone can have their name on the
slate for any office.
Remember
this is your organization and we all have the responsibility to do our part.
Ron Hudson,
Pres.
Vice Pres.
John O’Neil called the meeting to order at 7:30PM

the effort of Jim Hilburger, Gary Jones and Bob Ball, which is greatly
appreciated.

ELMER’S CORNER: Drive-through Shop
Towels
Found in
Feb. 2009 Woodworker’s Journal
How many
times have you gone through a fast food drive-through and been given a bigger
wad of napkins than you need? You use a few a throw the rest away. Collect the
extras and bring them into the shop to use for glue-ups instead of expensive
paper towels. These napkins are virtually free, and they work fine for
clean-up,
