CLUB EVENTS

Bob has put together the following list of upcoming events and invites everyone to participate.

AUGUST 25 Thurs. 1 to 5 p.m. Senior Day at the Benton County Fair. Bring a project and some carvings to show what we do. Indoors, with a work table. Not necessary to stay the full 4 hours.

AUGUST 30 Tues. 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. Richland Life Care on Gage, just west of Keene near the fire station. We will carve and show our work to some of the residents. This has been a very satisfying event in the past.

SEPTEMBER 10 Downtown Kennewick. More info later on this. Street fair by White's Unfinished Furniture, all kinds of woodworking. Last year we carved and visited with the public, promoting TCWCA. The grape festival is in the next block, which also brings in a lot of people, so it is a good opportunity for us.

SEPTEMBER 23, 24 & 25 Fri., Sat., Sun. 9 to 5. Heritage Days at Sacajawea Park. Promoting woodcarving and TCWCA, we'll have a table with a canopy. Kids' day is Friday - there will be busloads of school kids, who often come back the next day with their families. The theme is Lewis & Clark Days, with lots of interesting demonstrations. Not necessary to be there all 3 days, or even all of one day. It would be good to have at least 4 people at the table at all times, though, so there will be a sign-up sheet.

Please let Bob know the events you can participate in. He will be pestering you if you haven't told him when you will be there. Call him at 628-1493 or email bag@pocketinet.com
