Merry Christmas

Happy Thanksgiving

We have much to be thankful for.
Due to the times, the board thought it prudent to continue in 2021 with the with our current officers, and skip the election this year. As such, the board voted unanimously to pass a motion to that effect. The current officers are:
Happy Halloween

The big thing for our club of course, is the 2021 Showcase of Woodcarvings. Hopefully you all know by now, but the dates have been changed to June 25-27, 2021. This has been under constant review since April when we realized that we might not be able to have the 2021 Showcase. Thanks to Lisa Murphy-Stafford and the showcase committee, we believe we have a plan that will work.
Furthermore, the theme has been changed to Anything Tom Wolfe. This change was made to memorialize the recent passing of Tom. He published more than fifty (50) books in his lifetime, so there are plenty of patterns to chose from. While caricatures is not my forte, I am looking forward to choosing and carving one one of Tom’s.
Happy Vernal Equinox
I hope this finds you well and enjoying the blessings of life.
Well, it is my honor to fill Marcy’s shoes as president. I have carved with her for several years, and served on the board for one and a half. As you know, she is very personable, and interesting to talk to. We will miss you Marcy, but wish you the best retirement ever. I know I have been enjoying mine for seven (7) years.
So you might ask, who is this Neil McGuire? I worked in the Christian school movement for 38 years as a teacher, principal, and then a book salesman. After retirement I took the time to get involved in wood craft. I joined the club in 2016, and have enjoyed carving and fellowshipping with you carvers. What a diverse and interesting group we are.

President's Message

We voted last week and Neil McGuire is your new President. Rich DiFranco has taken on the task of Treasurer. I know they will do a great job and I will miss working with them and the rest of the members of my Board. Thank you to my Board for their help during this unusual Covid-19 time of managing the club.
“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”
Irish Blessing
Farewell and Goodbye!
