September 17th: TVW members usually donate items we've made for
the
auction held at their picnic. Bring anything you wish to donate to the
regular Club meeting on August 17th or contact Richard Gulley. We hope
that Club members will respond generously to support UTSI.

Quarter
Century of the Tennessee Valley Woodworkers:
This
year we will be celebrating our 25th
year as a Club. The founders met in a series of meetings between
September 25th
and December of 1985 to forge the new Club and called it the Tennessee
Valley
Woodworkers, and here we are now a quarter of a century later still
growing
strong and meeting every month to fulfill their vision.
We’ll celebrate that quarter century on Saturday, October 23, 2010 with
a special dinner, so stay tuned while the planning takes
place. We’ll let you know the details as
soon as
possible, but clear your calendar for October 23. Dan Maher is
Chairman.
Visitors
are always welcome at Club meetings and events! I’m
occasionally asked
what it takes to become a member of the
Tennessee Valley Woodworkers. Well the
answer is simple: If you are a
woodworker or just interested in things ‘Wood’ you are welcome to come
to our
meetings as a guest. There are no other
requirements than those. Our Club is
made up of a full range of skills from folks who just like to be around
woodworkers all the way to fully fledged experts in the craft. We do
all sorts
of woodworking from carpentry to full wood art.
If, after visiting, you find you wish to be a full participant
in the
Club, see our Treasurer, Bob Addington.
He’ll register you and collect your dues. Dues
are $10 single or $15 family and are
prorated over the year. We’re
affordable, available, and a friendly bunch, so don’t be
hesitant. Come be our guest.
Digital
Library: There
are new Titles
in the Digital
Library. Titles may be checked out from
Henry Davis. Henry has scanned all of the photos
in the Club scrapbooks and put them on a CD for you. Be
sure to check it out in the library (2085). Members may donate
original
DVDs, CDs, or VHS tapes to the library for others to check out.
