Club News
Coming Soon! The 17th Annual Woodcarvers Show
Club members agreed that we should move ahead with plans for a fall show. Due to the increase in rental fee at the Art Center, the Board is looking into other sites to host the show. A decision should be made by the first meeting in March. All of last year committee chairpersons agreed to help again this year. Martha Byron, greeting; Jim Leifeld, set up and tear down; John Bouchillon, printed advertising; Wilbert Brewton, judging; Charlotte Cross, refreshments; and Charles Sapp, applications. If you are interested in overseeing the committee work, please contact the Club President.
Wedding Plans
You are invited to the Royal Wedding. Your invitation is in the form of a pattern or roughout. See Wilbert for more information.
