WoodCarving Cruise with Josh Guge
Kathleen Tansey asked me to get this information to the club. I'll bring some printed info to the meeting in September, but you might want to investigate it before then, as deposits are due in September. Looks like it might be pretty neat and Josh is a premier carvver of wild life.

Hi,
I am the travel agent who arranges the Carvers' cruises. Could you share this information with your club members? It's a nice getaway from cold winter weather, great time with fellow carvers and relaxing for those spouses that don't carve.
Our next Carvers' cruise will focus on air brush painting to obtain a realistic look. Josh Guge will teach onboard the Norwegian Dawn on a 7 day exotic Caribbean cruise beginning January 18, 2014.. Josh chose the itinerary because the angel fish and the toucan bird can be seen in their natural environment at the port stops. Josh invites your members to get away for a week vacation and build skills level for finishing wood carvings.
Please include an article or the flier in your next newsletter. Deposits are due by mid September and balcony cabins are quickly being assigned.
You may forward this direct link to the webpage also:

I look forward to hearing from you with any questions that you might have regarding this possible opportunity.
Back from a wonderful trip to Jerusalem and Bethlehem, Looking forward to sharing with you soon.

We may have some interesting show and tell items from those members who have been to seminars in Missouri and Tennesee!
Also,don't forget the North Arkansas Woodcarvers Club's Annual Show May 4th & 5th at the Baxter County Fairgrounds in Mountain Home, Arkansas. We would truly appreciate you helping us get the word out and pass this along to other woodcarvers.
Please join us!!!
Thank you,
Sandy Smith
I suspect the Heineckes will have wood for sale and Larry Yudis and other tool vendors will have plenty of books and tools and such! Might even see a famous carver or two.
