The 2010 Rendezvous was a big success, thanks to the excellent work done by Chairman Bob Gough, and President Ivan Brown. They had a crew of very capable helpers, and you can find out who they were, read about them and see pictures here next week. Meantime, your editor has a house full of company, so there will be no printed newsletter this month, and the blog news will be delayed.

OLD BUSINESS:
We received a Thank You note from the Franklin Co. Historical Society for the carving exhibit our club put together at the Pasco City Hall. Also a Thank You from Ron and Linda Lunde for a well-run and successful spring show.
NEW BUSINESS:
Wally Walters brought carvings he had collected from Third World Countries, and pointed out the different techniques used. He also told about his interest in carving since the age of about 5 years. His first carving was from the New York World's Fair. His uncle traveled around the world and sent carvings, most notably from Africa. He showed a carving made from an elephant tusk. Also a nara wood water buffalo carved in the Philippines. Carvings from China were very detailed, and the ones of people showed very thin bodies with ribs showing. The carvings from Mexico were very colorfully painted.
The general raffle prizes were won by Bob, Jimee, Barb and Mick.
