This newsletter was designed and produced by club secretary David Hausmann. Articles, digital photos and information that you would like to share with Sarasota Woodturner members are welcome. Steve Johns’ delivering member turned and donated bowls to the All Faiths Food Bank. Member turned and donated wigs stands to the American Cancer Society. Club News and Activities | I did it at the meeting on Nov 6, but want to reiterate my thanks to all who donated to the the ‘chainsaw’ fund. The sudden death of Franck’s largest saw a few weeks back, left a significant gap in the higher end of the chainsaw lineup, and the new Stihl replacement brings back the efficiency of our Tuesday cutting sessions! We will keep the fund open, so others, going forward, may donate, not only to the purchase, but to the ongoing cost of maintaining the saws as well as processing our logs. You have already gotten a demo schedule from Joe. And our club annual party is Saturday, January 5th. Please let Alan Levin know your wish to attend, how many in your party, and your food selection...beef, chicken or fish! Club election of officers and board members will be at the December meeting. Jimmy Clewes is making multiple area appearances, including workshops. Check the mailings from Joe for details. As always, many thanks to Dave Hausmann, our stalwart newsletter editor! If you have any pictures or articles for future editions, please send them on over to him (dhausmann@comcast. net). Cheers!
