The membership decided not to elect executives but to create a responsible membership that would drive the meetings going forward.

This meeting was a huge success again as members brought in some very interesting items like jigs, projects, gadgets and innovative tools.

Last night was the last meeting for the Niagara Woodworking Club until the fall and it was our annual Bar-B-Q and Swap Meet.

Here are some pictures from last night......
