MEETINGS and COVID-19:
The City of KCMO mask mandate for meetings is no longer in effect. You may still wear a mask if you like. We will also continue to Zoom the meeting to those members that don't feel comfortable at an in-person meeting or just can't attend the meeting in person. The Zoom details will be emailed to members the week before the meeting.


October 9th Regular Meeting.
KC Woodturner member Don Frank will be our demonstrator this month. He will talk about using dessicant beads to dry your wet woodturnings much quicker than the normal air drying or bagged with wood shavings methods.
October 9th Challenge: Turn something using a skew. You can turn a sample bead and cove practice piece if you like.

FUTURE MEETING DEMOS:
Watch this space. The demo will probably be Holiday related, like turning a simple tree ornament.
