Mystery Rodent Revealed
Dan Meehan has
promised to lead us in carving a rodent at our regular meeting Thursday January 10th. He hasn’t revealed exactly what kind of rodent he’ll be carving, but come to the meeting and
find out.
Please be sure to thank Joyce for
the fine job she did running our December potluck. We had the best turnout in
years, and everyone had a fine time.
Please join us for open carving
on January 24th.
Make A Wish to Endorse Program Ad Sales
Make a Wish will supply letters
of introduction to go out with ads to be sold for our 2008 program. Lowell has
asked that everyone try to sell at least one ad to help bring revenue in. Some
folks picked up advertising packets at our December meeting, and we’ll have some also in January.
Show Tables Going Fast
As of this newsletter, only five
tables remain for our show. Table spaces are first-come, first-serve, so get
your application in as soon as possible if you wish to reserve a space.
Show Setup Help Needed
We’ll be needing help to
set up tables after 5:00 pm on the Friday before our show. Please contact Lowell
if you can help out.
