The FRW Executive Committee has been working very hard to update
the club bylaws to fill some gaps, formalize some procedures,
and to bring them more in line with the suggested AAW content
for not-for-profit organizations. As part of the process, we need
you, the members, to review and approve these new, proposed bylaws,
which are attached in PDF format. In addition, they will be posted
on the web site, and printed copies will be available for review
at the May meeting.
At the May meeting, we will have a vote to accept or reject these
proposed bylaws. If the bylaws are accepted, we will send the
accepted version to the AAW as our updated bylaws. If the bylaws
are rejected, more Executive Committee meetings will be scheduled
to allow input and discussions from any members who want to make
changes to the proposed bylaws.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or Andy
Zartman.

Hello Andy,
The AAW Chapter e-mail is now up and running again
Here is a message that Bill Haskell, AAW Board member and Treasurer
has asked me to send to you. Please get the word out to your Chapter
members. Here is an exciting piece of information you should pass
on to your chapter membership both at your meetings and via e-mail.
A drawing will be held to raise funds for a past
president and AAW workhorse and champion, Phil Brennion. Phil
is now a quadriplegic who is in need of major health and financial
support - many of his friends in the AAW want to help.
Fund raising raffle tickets can be purchased by
calling or mailing the AAW office and on the Internet. Tickets
will also be on sale at the Richmond symposium. The raffle prizes
are:
1. Powermatic 3520B lathe - donated by the WMH
Tool Group
2. Jet 1014 mini lathe - donated by the WMH Tool
Group
3. Oneway Stronghold 4-jaw chuck – donated by Arizona
Silhouette
In
addition to individual purchases, your chapter could "pass the
hat" and purchase a good number of raffle tickets. If a chapter
wins, they could end up with a new lathe or chuck. If they don't
need the prize, it could be raffled off as a chapter fund-raiser.
To read about the entire story and to buy raffle tickets, go to
the AAW web site: http://woodturner.org/raffle/
Here is a chance to win a lathe or chuck and help a good woodturning
friend.
Dear AAW Members,
I
need your help. As you know, each year the AAW holds three competitions
involving the Local Chapters – the Chapter Collaborative,
the web site competition, and the newsletter competition. Details
of these events are on the AAW web site (www.woodturner.org).
The winners are announced at the Symposium Banquet and auction.
Quite honestly, last year these competitions did not receive anywhere
near the attention and recognition that they should have. As your
new (since Nov. 2007) Chapters and Membership chairman, these
events fall under my purview, and I am very concerned that because
of the shortcomings of last year, we may not get as many entries
as we should this year... (Read the
whole letter here.)
Dear
AAW Members,
Carl
Voss, the Editor of the American Woodturner, has asked me to send
the following message to all the AAW Chapter Presidents. This
message is also on the home page of the AAW web site Please pass
this message on to all your Chapter members...(Read
