The 2010 Artistry in Wood show is now history. Chairman, Bob Gough worked hard and long to see that everything went off as planned - and by all accounts, this is exactly what happened. Thank you, Bob, for a great job!!!! Thanks also to the various committee members who worked just as hard on each assigned task.
We are especially grateful to all the merchants, members and friends who donated items for the raffle. This is the part of the show that we rely on to cover the expenses, and with over 100 items donated this year, the final accounting should look pretty good.
The NON-CLUB MEMBER DONORS to whom we send our heartfelt thanks are as follows:
MEYERS AUTO TECH ...WASHINGTON HARDWARE ... WOODCARVING MAGAZINE ... GRIP-ALL JAWS ... MEN ZONE ... MAGILLS ... JENSEN HARDWARE ... CARVERS WORLD ... WOOD N THINGS ... MILNE ... CASCADE CARVERS ... WHITTLER’S NOOK ... WALLA WALLA VALLEY CARVERS ... KRIS AND JIMMIE BROWN ... ALEX GARVIE ... GAYLE GARVIE ... CHRIS MCBRIDE ... KEN WILBUR ... MEL WHITLEY ... SHAWN BROWN ... LEVI AND ASPASI GARCIA.

Time is getting short for the planning that remains to be done to make this a success. We are hearing from carvers from other states and Canada already, so it’s time to put the final touches on the program. There are still a few “job opportunities” open, so please consider volunteering to assist at one - or some - of the following:
Class Instructors - we still need some help here. If you can teach a 2 to 3 hour class, please let Bob Gough know as soon as possible. His phone number is (509) 628-1493
Hospitality table - donations of snacks, water, sodas and coffee. Also help with setting up and cleaning up.
We will be serving two dinners - a Potluck and a Bar-B-Que. We need planners, cooks and servers for these.
