In a short meeting before the Christmas dinner, it was reported that the cost for the fairgrounds for the Rendezvous has gone up about $150 over last year. The total will be about $750.
Vi Hiltwein moved that we rent the same building and pay the increased cost. Seconded by Charlene Brown, the motion was passed unanimously.

CHRISTMAS PARTY
Dec. 9
6:00 p.m. at Tri-Tech
Bring your favorite dish to share and join us for our annual Christmas dinner. There are no sign-up sheets, and somehow it always seems to work out just right. So bring a main dish, a side dish, salad or dessert. Paper plates and plastic utensils will be provided.
A "Chinese gift exchange" is the activity of the evening, so if you wish to participate, bring a wrapped gift, not to exceed $10 in cost. Numbers will be drawn, then the fun begins.
MEETING MINUTES, NOV. 18, 2010
The meeting was called to order by out-going president, Ivan Brown.
The first order of business was the report by the Vice President, Bob Gough. He is working on the spring show already, and said that Catherine Segovia is making up some fliers to distribute around town.
***Bob is also making plans to obtain a turned vase with a brass plazue to be presented to the winner of Best of Show. He also has some ideas about a different presentation for the winner of the Cook's Choice.
***He suggested that we send personal invitations to the Spokane carving club, because of their enthusiastic support of our show.
***A chain-saw carved bench by Butch Elrod will be offered for auction to the public during the coming year. It will be displayed at different local businesses throughout the year, the first being Meyers Auto Tech. The winner will be drawn at the November, 2011 business meeting. Tickets will be $5 each. The cost to obtain a license for a public auction is $58, and the limit is $5000 in profits.

TCWC MINUTES, OCTOBER 21, 2010
Ivan Brown opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. He asked first for a report from Bob Gough.
Bob has been talking to Butch Elrod (chairsaw carver at our March show) about making a bench with caricatures at both arm rests. He will verify the cost so that the club can decide whether to raffle it to the public, through White's, Milne, Columbia Grain & Feed, etc. Mark questioned what the State rules on a raffle offered to the public would be. The discussion was tabled until further information can be obtained.
Bob would like large posters for the Spring Show that has information on the show, location, chainsaw exhibition, pictures, and that lunch is available.
Ivan reported on the soap carving kits for kids for the Spring Show - Don Schnell has half of the tools made. Instructions have been printed, 25 for sale and the balance on the kids' carving table. Expense is approx. $2.50 to $3.25 depending on the cost of boxes to be used.
Bob said that he didn't know how or who to contact for judges for the Spring Show. It was suggested that Betty Pitzer or Ron Lunde could be of assistance.
Tri-Tech radio promotional carving is going to be made by Neil Wesche.
The Treasurer's report was given by Arlene Spaulding.
Election of officers could not be held due to not having anyone that has agreed to hold the offices of President, Secretary and Treasurer. Bob Gough has agreed to stay in office as Vice President.
It was decided that a letter be mailed to all club members on the need to have officers for the club to continue.
Bob would like to see some activity on Saturdays for members to carve, since many people who work can't attend the carving classes offered at the Senior Center on Wed. and Fri.
Neil Wesche is offering to host carving at his home studio/garage. He has researched what other clubs do, and thinks that this would help create another avenue for interested carvers.
Bob said that he has talked to those involved in woodturning about creating a turned vase like the one that was presented at the Spokane for Best of Show. It could have a small engraved plate on it.
Those in attendance were Barb Pentecost, Bob Gough, Mark Green, Wally Walters, Jerry Johnson, Roy LaMunyon, Larry Musen, Dave McMyler, Neil Wesche, Merle Wesche, Ivan Brown and Arlene Spaulding. The raffle was held after a break for refreshments, but the names of the winners were not recorded, since Arlene had to leave prior to that.
