MEETING MINUTES, Nov. 17, 2011

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.
