MEETING MINUTES, SEPT. 16, 2010

The meeting was called to order by President Ivan Brown. The Treasurer's report will be given later.
...Vice President, Bob Gough had numerous reports on coming events. Coming right up is the Heritage Days at Sacajawea Park. Bob is signing up carvers to demonstrate and advertise the club for all three days, Sept. 24, 25 and 26.
...Same weekend, Saturday only, is the Kennewick Woodworkers' and Street Fair. Carvers are needed to demonstrate and advertise the club. Bob has fliers for the spring show to hand out.
...OCTOBER 1, 2, 3 is the SPOKANE SHOW. Vi and Ellen will be collecting your entries no later than the 22nd (or the 29th, as a very last resort) and take them to the show the day before it opens. Entry fee is $4 per item.
...October 23 - Pumpkin carving 12:30 to 3:00 p.m. at Ron Lunde's, 2008 S. Fruitland, Kennewick. BYO pumpkin and tools.
...Charlene Brown is negotiating for a room for the Christmas party for December 9 at Tri-Tech.
...The Prospectus needs to be revised. Vi, Jerry, Ivan and Ron will review it and recommend updates.
...A committee is needed to come up with nominees for President and Recording Secretary. Also, Arlene can't serve a 3rd year as Treasurer because of by-law restrictions. She will assist anyone who agrees to take this job.

...Spring Show: it isn't too early to begin to plan. It was moved by Barb, seconded by Vi, and approved to keep the same entry fees and admission fees as in the past. ***The cancer survivor group is nearly defunct, and didn't use their free tickets last year, so we will not send them this year. ***Bob will talk to Becky in food services at Tri-Tech, for lunches and snacks to be available. *** The idea of asking local businesses to donate to the show in return for advertising was discussed. No motions were made, and no decision reached. ***Bob needs someone to handle advertising. Some suggested venues are the Herald, "Around the Town," Giant Nickel, art galleries, shop windows, libraries and radio. ***Neil is doing a carving to donate. *** Kay will be in charge of getting the ribbons, and Charlene will head up the raffle again this year. ***We need people to do demonstrations, such as chain-saw carving, etc.
***Ron brought a soap carving kit as an idea to give to children at the show, or to sell. The club name can be attached. The tools are made from wood on a router. Several people have routers, but need instruction on how to use them.

...Rendezvous June 10 - 11, 2011. Set-up June 9th. Building one is available to us again. The map needs to be revised, and Bob could use some help with this.

...In July a gallery in Prosser has a street event for artists to demonstrate and sell. It was suggested that some carvers might be interested in this, and advertise the club as well.

...The raffle was won by Jack, Neil and Charlene. Coffee next month will be provided by Mark.

... The Treasurer's Report was given by Arlene Spaulding.
