I want to thank all of you who came to the Christmas Potluck and gift exchange. Everyone had a good time, with good food filling us up and fun/interesting/entertaining gifts exchanged... and exchanged.. and exchanged.
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Ivan Brown for his hard work as President last year. And to Arlene Spaulding for her willingness to work so hard as Treasurer, and in many other areas as well.
Your new officers have met and discussed continuing with the good plans laid down by the previous officers. Bob Gough is continuing as Vice President, and is heading up the committee to plan the March Artistry in Wood Show. He will be needing lots of help to make it a success. From set up to take down, hands are needed to help in any way they can. Please let Bob know that you are willing and available to help.
THANKS TO NITA for making patches and giving them to members who had none. I hope everyone will be wearing their vests to the show, to show who we are. It makes a difference if a visitor has a question or needs some help. If you don't have a vest and don't sew, perhaps you can make a deal with someone who does. Trade-barter-buy ... whatever works.
Your new officers are looking forward to keeping this club going, but we can't do it alone. Do bring us suggestions and ideas that YOU want to see addressed. We are working on some new ideas now and will bring them to the meeting. Be willing to be flexible as we try them out. :>)
HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND HAPPY CARVING!!!! ...... Jannie B.

CHRISTMAS POTLUCK
We'll let the pictures speak for themselves ... as you can see, everyone enjoyed the evening. The traditional exchange of gifts was very lively, with the most competition (as usual) being for the Mr. Peanut carving, accompanied by the famous peanut brittle. It ended up, appropriately, with Roy and Genevieve LaMunyon, who were celebrating their 60th anniversary.
NEW BUSINESS
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.
