September's Meeting: Discussion and Elections

This meeting was meant to discuss club happenings and get a direction for the coming year. The membership decided not to elect executives but to create a responsible membership that would drive the meetings going forward. A new focus for the club with more emphasis on skills and furniture making. Furniture making as you know requires all skills (turning, carving, cabinetmaking, etc.) With a new focus and a set format, next month's meeting Andrew will present the topic of Handsaws: Usage and Care.

A new set format for the meetings will be as followed:
