The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. by President, Janet Boynton. There were 18 in attendance. Janet read a letter of resignation from Jimee Hurst, secretary.
The Treasurer's report was given. Storage building fees were paid. $620 was deposited at the bank, which was the result of the chain saw bench raffle. Len also resigned as Treasurer, but will be around to help. He also announced his upcoming marriage and invited all the woodcarvers to the celebration. Date to be announced later.
Library: Books are at Len Daugherty's house. Call him if you would like to check out books. There is a list available.
Show: Two judges, Terry Porter and Gordon Day have been confirmed. Jerry & Judith Dilley will handle the advertising; Charlene Brown, the raffle; Ron Lunde, vendors; Vi Hiltwein, Pre-registration; Betty Pitzer, mail-ins. Arlene Spaulding & Connie Schlosser will work on the Prospectus and judges' sheets & computer needs.
Chain sawed bench raffle: $1530 tickets sold, $400 to Butch Elrod for carving the bench. The winning ticket, #290, was sold to Quenda Johnson of Longview WA. No phone number was listed, but the winner will be contacted. David Searles, the Tri-Tech janitor, did the drawing for us.
A motion was made by Vi Hiltwein for the club to donate $50.00 to Hospice at the Tri-City Chaplaincy in memory of Steve Mech. Motion carried.
The Christmas party will be at Tri-Tech. Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. Potluck, Chinese gift exchange, with a $10 limit. (No white elephants, please.)
Bob Gough: Butch Elrod will be willing to do another chain sawn raffle item. We will need club members to help sell tickets and to move the item around the various locations in the Tri-Cities and Prosser. He hopes to have it done for the show, and possibly draw the winner at the Rendezvous.
The club raffle took in $12.00; winners were Shirley Carlson, Catherine Segovia, Bob Gough & Charlene Brown.

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT
We have once again lost a fellow member who gave so much to this club. Steve Mech was a teacher who enjoyed carving and tried to share that enjoyment with each one of us. He had quite the wry sense of humor and it caught one by surprise at times. He made me a bit nervous when he'd look over my shoulder to see what I was carving, but he was also very good to share his knowledge. Steve will be missed.
There has been a lot of activity among the carvers - Jerry and Judith having their work judged in Yakima and chosen to be in the museum, and Neal, Connie & Bob being part of the Art Walk in Kennewick. Bob and Ron were interviewed and filmed carving pumpkins for TV with Halloween in mind.
Several have been on the sick list ... Ivan, Charlene, Jimee, Jack, Vi, Janet, Merle and Heil. We wish them back to good health soon.
Please plan to attend the Nov. meeting for the bench drawing and hopefully, new officers. These are needed right away to fill several offices. (Thank you to Connie for taking the minutes at the last meeting.) For the club to move on with planning the carving show, members need to step up to the plate.
As your outgoing President, I want to thank Bob, our V.P., Jimee, our Secretary, and Len, our Treasurer, for the hard work they did for the past year. I think we all learned a lot, and had lots of sideline help.
Thank you to the club for the chance to be your President. I am truly sorry that I need to step down, but health issues have gotten in the way of my doing the job as it needs to be done. Please help find replacements for the vacant offices.
