TCWC MEETING MINUTES MAY 17, 2011

The meeting was called to order by the Vice President, Bob Gough.
The Minutes of the April meeting were approved as published.
The Treasurer's report was given, after which Len requested that someone be appointed to take care of the money end of the Rendezvous because he has some family concerns and will likely be away at that time.

Library report: Len has the books and magazines at his home. Call him with your requests, and he will bring them to the next meeting, or you can pick them up at his house by appointment.

The date for the 2012 Artistry In Wood Show & Sale will be March 16, 17 & 18. Space at Tri-Tech has been arranged for this.

Charlene reminded that she will need $50.00 in change to start out the raffle.

Ivan has the large chip carved piece, "The Lord's Prayer." It was decided that we keep it in storage until the show next spring, and raffle it then.

Bob asked for ideas for entertainment on Fri. and Sat. nights. He has a contact who does a slide show of aerial photos of this area. Ivan knows someone with connections in the music business.

We need a stand-by teacher in case John Mareno can't get here in time - he has a previous commitment that may interfere.

Barb Pentecost has sign-up sheets for ALL the jobs - please sign up for as many as you can do.

OLD BUSINESS:
Regarding next year's show, Wally suggested that it might be good to have the judging early on Sat. AM, or earlier in the evening on Friday, and finish on Sat. AM, eliminating the all-night process w currently have. Also, if the judges don't have to work all night, they might be willing to be available at a certain time to answer any questions carvers might have.
