The President"s Turn

I hope everyone who can will attend the meeting on the 21st as we have some important Club business to attend to.
The Florida Symposium was the largest ever! All the workshops were filled, all the demonstrations were filled and everyone seemed to have a good time; and we raised money for our education projects. Next year should be equally as good and our own Paul Pouliot well be one of the Florida turners on the program.
Last nights "How-To" session on sharpening was a great one; 18 people attended and though all did not participate in the instructional part of the session those who did learned a lot about sharpening their tools. A big THANKS to Paul for a good job well done!
We received the use of a Jet 1242 lathe from Chris Costello. The lathe weill be on loan to us for quite a while and it will be kept at the church for our use as either a demo lathe and during during "How-To" seesions. I will write a letter expressing our appreciation to Chris in the next few days.
Good Turning!, and I'll see you on the 21st.

Jack Gregory
President
