  • March 31, 2021 - Meeting online via Zoom - Shop Stories from the Pandemic

    Meeting online via Zoom - Shop Stories from the Pandemic


    March 31, 2021

    The regular monthly meeting of OPCAAW will feature a series of reports from members about their shop developments, turning experiences and tips from the time of pandemic.

    Vice President for Training Larry Lemon will MC the presentations. He said the genesis for the program was his desire to get club members involved in sharing what they have been up to and what they have learned as woodturners.Pre-Covid, the club's Sawdust Sessions and monthly meetings provided time for members to socialize and share turning knowledge. But the pandemic has made the social aspect of our gatherings a huge challenge.

    Larry is still looking for volunteers who may be interested in talking about their turning work during the past year. If you are interested in sharing your shop and your experiences, contact Larry.

    OPCAAW members can start signing on for our Zoom meeting as early as 5:30 to socialize. President Brad Stave will make club announcements starting at 6:15.

    A virtual Show & Tell presentation will start immediately thereafter, with the demonstration following. Members wishing to show their work in Show & Tell should email up to four photos, two each of two different projects, to Jeff Brody by 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 24. For details about photo files, check our monthly newsletter.

    All members in good standing will receive an email announcement with the link to enter the Zoom meeting prior to March 31.
