A Message from Laura Uden


Last month's program was on Beads of Courage, and all of the available box kits were taken by club members. We hope your efforts are producing some lovely boxes for the children - Barry is still working on his but hopes to finish it for next week's meeting.

This month's program will be on pen turning, with Gordon Patnude. We look forward to seeing his take on pens, and learning some new approaches or methods.

As we mentioned in last month's newsletter, we're going to focus each month on one of the officer or coordinator roles. This month, we'd like to talk about the Library Coordinator role, which is being performed by Bob Hedges. This role is one of the educational functions in the club, along with monthly programs and demos. It involves managing the club's library of DVDs. This role is responsible for:

1. organizing and maintaining the collection of DVDs
2. renting DVDs to club members and collecting rental fees
3. suggesting purchases for new DVDs and buying them if approved
4. maintaining list of current inventory

Bob Hedges has been faithfully performing this role along with other jobs for the club for a while now, and he is always open to new suggestions for DVDs to purchase. If you have any videos you'd like to see that aren't currently in the library, please let him know.

Thanks! We'll see you at Tuesday's meeting!
