We had a great meeting this past Thursday and would like to give a HUGE shout out to Ken Bald for agreeing to do a last minute demo on from a log to a bowl. Ken did a great job with this presentation. We had such great items for show-n-tell and even the presidents challenge to which Ken also won. Great time so don’t forget to come next month as the presidents challenge it to make a birdhouse, lantern which will be donated to our Nursing home give away.
