The toys, etc. made and provided by the club were
delivered to the hospital prior to Christmas and were well received.
We were asked to consider the possibility of doing something similar
this year for kids, veterans, spouses of those deployed, etc. Further
discussion to follow.
Just a reminder, yearly club membership fees ($25) are due and can be paid to Susan Hansen.
Roger will confirm we are still on the schedule with the Newburgh Central Library to display our turnings during the month of April. We anticipate being able to display up to 30 turnings.
