DelVal Turner's Regular Meeting
Tuesday October 13th.
We would like to welcome you all back on October 13th to our meeting at the Moorestown Friends School at 7 PM.
This month we will be hosting Barry Gross who will share Pen turning tips and techniques. This will include acrylic segmented pens. In addition, we will distribute Pen Kits for all those present. This will support our challenge to “Turn a Pen for a Service Member”.
Phil Hauser will be hosting an Open House in his shop once more. It will be held on Tuesday October 20th at 7PM this month. That is the 3rd Tuesday, so mark your calendar and enjoy a time of fellowship with other turners. This is a great time to share information and problem solve together. This year we will offer this every other month as long as there is interest and active participation. Please take advantage of this opportunity.
His address is 71 Hainesport Mount Laurel Road, Hainesport, NJ 08036.
Looking ahead;
In November, we will share the results of our summer challenge. For those who want to join in on the fun, it was to turn an object and apply some type of embellishment.
We will also hold our Officer elections, please let us know if you are interested in serving in any position.
See you Tuesday!
