Our
next Carving meeting is set for Saturday, September 27, 2014. Fred has
booked the Arkansas Electric Cooperative in Jacksonville from 9-noon. ( First Electric Building (1000 South JP Wright Loop
Road, Jacksonville, AR) He is able to book from month to month, so we can't pre-set a specific date/time each month, so we will have to be flexible.
During
the summer some of us got together in June and August for carving time
in my garage studio. It was fun to keep up the carving during the
summer. We welcome a new carver, Jane Diesing. Thanks to Mike Pounders
for sharing his newest carving and painting techniques.
For
our September meeting, we will need to select or elect a new
President. I can not continue to serve in that role, I want to be able
to attend when possible, but have several family issues (two boys ages 7
and 15 with lots of school activities on Saturday and taking care of
Kathy) to
handle and can not guarantee being there each month and need to have
someone else take over.
I won't be able to attend this meeting as I will be taking Kathy to Batesville to a work related event.
I've
been using email to let those of you with email addresses know about
meetings, having Mike post them on his Blog and also mailing to all
members without an email address. To be sure we are reaching all
members, this month we are emailing, posting on the Blog and mailing to
all members (those with current dues and paid and those who have
forgotten to pay this
year). If you have an email address and don't get this notice by
email, just send the info to: r-k19@att.net
to be added to the
list. And remember to pay your dues to keep receiving notices of
meeting dates and special carving events---see Fred to confirm if you
need to pay.
Keep
Lou Everitt in your thoughts, she is currently in chemotheraphy after
having colon surgery. I understand she is doing well. My wife Kathy
also had colon surgery this summer and is in chemo as well, she is doing
well also.
