SAPFM-ORV Chapter Fall Meeting October 8-9, 2016 Campus Martius Museum

We will be collecting approximately $20 per person for the speaker (Andrew Richmond) fee. 

Please remember to bring 1 or 2 pieces of period furniture that you have made for exhibit on Saturday at the museum.  Steve Arnold made arrangements for those of you arriving on Friday Oct. 7 to drop off your furniture at the museum by 5:30 pm before the cookout.  The exhibit is being advertised as a draw for the museum and hopefully will raise some revenue for the museum.  Your help with this will be greatly appreciated!! 

Please RSVP for the following meals:
1) Friday night cookout at Steve Arnold’s house.
2) Saturday night at The Levee House

Woodworking in America in Covington, KY on Sept 16-18, 2016.  We are looking for volunteers to attend the event.

 
Cheers,

Proposed AGENDA

(Optional) FRIDAY, October 7, 2016
A cookout at Steve Arnold’s house (412 Sixth Street, Marietta, OH) from 6-8 pm for those who can make it.  He will need a head count for this cookout by September 26. 


SATURDAY, October 8, 2016
Campus Martius Museum, 601 2nd St, Marietta, OH 45750 http://campusmartiusmuseum.org/

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
Also, we will have another swap meet.  If you've got something to sell or trade, please bring it.
