March Club Meeting
Sunday, March 15th, 2 to 4 p.m.
Waterloo Center for the Arts

Facilitator: Roger Beane
Subject: Carving Suggestions & Ideas

At the Board Meeting in Feb it was decided that for the program at the March meeting we would have a Round Robin discussion of carving suggestions and ideas. Roger Beane will facilitate our discussion. To make this happen we need cooperation from all of you. Please come prepared to share an idea or suggestion that would be of interest and of benefit to others. You might even consider bringing along a sample of your suggestion or some item you used it on. IÕm sure there are a wealth of good ideas that would be interesting. Ideas could be on sharpening sug- gestions, painting tips, cleaning of brushes, keeping wood in condition to carve better, transferring patterns, better glue up techniques, making your own patterns, special tools you have created as aids in holding or carving, and the list is endless. Or if you have a problem or question to bring to the group. Maybe someone has an answer. Think about it and come prepared.


Show Update

Club members, even if you do not plan to enter please consider joining us for the Saturday evening Banquet. The banquet caterer requires we have a final count to them no later than April 8th, In the past we could change numbers up to noon on day of banquet so please get you reservations to me before the 8th.

What can you do? CARVE FOR THE RAFFLE

A special need: Those of you who volunteered to carve candle holders for the tables at the banquet need to complete them and get them back to Dick Hanson as soon as possible. If you cannot complete yours please let Dick know.
