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.

MEETING MINUTES, AUGUST 19, 2010
Meeting was called to order by Ivan Brown.
Arlene Spaulding gave the Treasurer's report.
OLD BUSINESS
Vice President, Bob Gough, reported and opened discussion on a variety of topics. The first event coming up is Heritage Days at Sacajawea Park on Sept. 24, 25 and 26. Carvers are invited to demonstrate their skills, especially on the opening day which is mainly for school children. We need to get busy on give-aways for this event. It was suggested that small flowers will be quick and easy. Ellen Berg will make blanks from wood donated by Shirley Carlson. Mark Green has offered to airbrush them.
Also on Sept. 25 is the Woodcrafters Street Fair in Kennewick. More details on that coming soon.
Next up is the SPOKANE ARTISTRY IN WOOD show on Oct. 1, 2 and 3. Entries will be taken over for those who can't attend. The cost is $4 per entry. Spokane supports our show, so let's show our support for theirs.
OUR OWN SHOW
After the holidays we will be preparing for our show on March 18, 19 and 20. Be thinking about how you can volunteer to help - it takes a lot of people to run a show the size of ours. We were short-handed in several areas last year, but especially in clean-up, loading and hauling the club materials back to storage after the show. We must have people who are willing and able to do this important job.
There was some discussion on whether or not carvers can sell their work at the show. The consensus of opinion was that each seller would need to handle his own display, sales and taxes, if applicable. Those selling would have to be present at all times that their items are on display. Table rent is $15.00 per table.
Barb Pentecost suggested that members remember to park away from the building after unloading their belongings, so that visitors to the show can park closer.
THE NEXT RENDEZVOUS
June 10, 11 and 12 (Set-up on Thurs., 9th) We received a lot of positive feedback on our recent Rendezvous. Many have signed up already to return next spring. It isn't too early to start thinking about helping out by teaching or organizing and keeping things running.
Bob also report on his experiences at the recent NORTHWEST CARVING ACADEMY in Ellensburg. Several of our members also attended, and generally good reports were given. Most have signed up already to attend again next year.
NEW BUSINESS
A call was received from a representative of the SONS OF NORWAY. Their Nordic Festival is coming up on Oct. 16 and 17 at the Fairgrounds, and they are looking for someone to demonstrate chip carving. Ivan will call Juan Marin and see if he is interested.
Will Hayden called and sends greetings to our club members. Even though he is no longer able to travel here to attend, he has been a big supporter of our club, our shows and is a generous supplier of unique and popular carvings for our raffles.
Club Dues.... Those who receive mailed copies of the club newsletter and Minutes will notice their renewal date on their address labels. The rest, who get the blog online will have to be aware of their own due dates. If there is no response for two months after a membership expires, you will be dropped from the active members list and dropped from the mailing list.
The winners of the raffles were won by Neil, Jimee and Jack.
Attending were members Arlene Spaulding, Ivan & Charlene Brown, Jimee & Jack Hurst, Roy La Munyon, Ellen Berg, Neil and Marle Wesche, Shirley Carlson, Vi Hiltwein, Barb Pentecost, Mark Green and Bob Gough, and guest, Genevieve LaMunyon.
OUR NEXT BUSINESS MEETING WILL BE THE THIRD THURS. IN SEPT. ..... BACK AT TRI-TECH.
Our thanks to the Kennewick Senior Center for allowing us to meet at their facility for the summer.

TIME FOR ANOTHER TCWC BUSINESS MEETING
Y'LL COME TO THE MEETING THIS THURS. AUG. 19, 7 p.m. at the Senior Center, Kennewick.
You may think that "No news is good news." But that definitely is not true if you happen to be a newsletter editor. Seems summer is a comparatively quiet time for woodcarvers - certainly, many are out of town on vacation trips. Our Wed. classes are going strong, though, so come on in at 1 p.m., at the Senior Center to see most of your friendly regulars, and get some good instruction.
Meantime, if you have any news to share with TCWC members, call Jimee at (509) 396-9495, or email at JimeeL@aol.com
Did you know that you can view this blog ANY TIME YOU WANT TO? You don't have to wait for an email announcement - you can tune in on any day at any time. Of course, this is a slow news time, so there aren't many changes - but come fall, things will start gearing up again.
Last month's minutes follow this - please remember to come to the Aug. meeting Thurs., 19th at 7 p.m., Kennewick Senior Center.

The meeting was called to order at 7:02 by President, Ivan Brown. There were 14 members present. Ivan announced that he would not be running for president next year.
Discussion of the Rendezvous: 87 people were registered. We received many favorable comments from the participants.
Suggestions for the future:
...We need to get information out on websites, regarding instructors, classes, etc.
....More help is needed at the raffle table - someone must be there at all times. Many tickets were sold while classes were in session.
...The demonstrations (wood turning and air brush) were well received.
The facility was excellent. Arlene suggested that we should check in at the fair office at the end of the year to schedule the dates for next year. Maybe they can arrange a favorable price for us to use the same building again next year.
Fred Holder, of Snohomish, who donated the turned balls inside balls to the raffle has offered to bring his lathe next year and demonstrate the process for making them.
Financial Report was given by Arlene Spaulding.
