| A Message from the President: |
| |
Every couple of years, the direction of the Front Range Woodturners changes ever so slightly. This January, that happens again.
First I want to personally thank Ron Ainge for his significant contribution to our club. Over the pasts few years, Ron has given many, many hours to the FRW – as Treasurer, as VP/Program Director, and the last two years as our club President. Ron has also participated in many of our annual events. I’ll have a few words to say at the January FRW regular club meeting on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 on Ron’s behalf. Ron continues to stay active in our club, by again standing up to the plate and volunteering to be our wood raffle chairperson. (Read More...)
