First Tuesday in October Meeting.

Well, it could not come any earlier.  The first Tuesday in October is the 1st of the month, so collect up your Shows-and-Tells, bring some cash for the 50-50 draw or for refreshments, and get ready to brag about your accomplishments or to learn how to get it right next time from our experienced members.

Our feature presentation this month is by Norman Pirollo.  He will reveal some of the secrets to success with Kumiko, those lacy geometric meshes that adorn panels and openings in furniture.  Angles?  Shmangles!  Norman will tell all.

Meetings run from 7 to 9 PM, but come a little early if you'd like to help set up.  They are held in the basement of Bethany Baptist Church at the Western intersection of Centrepointe and Baseline.  Turn South when you see Angelo's.  And don't forget dry indoor footwear.

New members are welcome, and you can attend one or two meetings at no cost if you would like to try us out before joining the OWA.  Register with Don at the door.  Regular memberships are $50 per year, or $25 for full time students.
