Well-known member
SAPFM – ORV Chapter,

The Fall 2008 Meeting has been set for Saturday and Sunday, Oct 11 & 12, 2008) at David Smith’s workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio. 

As usual, I will need a head count of who is planning to attend so that we can get the right amount of food.

Also, I need a head count on those who want to take the tour of Adena (museum/house of Ohio’s first Governor.)

Again, this meeting will be free to all SAPFM dues paying members. The proposed agenda is listed below.   

If you need directions to David’s house, please send me an Email.

Thanks,
David

Proposed AGENDA

SATURDAY, October 11, 2008
1. Open doors at 10:00am
Arrive, relax, have some coffee

2. Introductions and Show & Tell, 11:00am – 12:00pm
The “show and tell” is an ice breaker.  Please bring anything you would like to show off.  If you have a special piece, a project or even a jig, please bring them.  For those who haven’t attended a previous meeting, this is a quick introduction, a display of your skills, interests, projects both past and present, jig, etc. It can even be a request for help in a particular area. After we go around the room, we will break for 30 min. During this break, you can seek out the other members who have similar interest and/or have already built a project/jig you want to build. This break will give you the opportunity to meet and establish a new friendship, pick their brains, and continue communicating with them after the meeting. This is extremely helpful for highly specialized niches, like inlays, marquetry, carving, Bombay chest, etc.

2a) Introductions and Show & Tell, 11:00 - 11:30am
  Name, where you live, your past and present projects, classes, and/or your particular interest and your Show & Tell item if you brought one. …

2b) Break to discuss Show & Tell one-on-one, 11:30am-12:00pm
