Dues PayPal Page Restored

After a bit of a budget review the Executive concluded that dues cannot be reduced this year.  For details on the deliberation, visit the "DUES" page.  Having worked out that dues would remain as they are, the PayPal payment demon was reactivated, so you can now pay dues using PayPal.  Contact our treasurer, Jocelyn Plourde, via ottawa.woodworkers.assoc@gmail.com if you would like to mail cash or a cheque, or pay using an internet bank transfer.  The fees are $50 for regular members and $25 for full-time students.

Coming September 1st, The OWA 2020-21 Season's First Tuesday

As you likely expected, there will be no physical get-togethers in September, and it is very possible this means the entire 2020-21 year.  Nevertheless, the OWA Executive will try to provide some interaction on First Tuesdays of each month using Zoom, starting with Tuesday September 1. How will it work?  Early on, we will try to feed main presentations to the membership in Live Streamed form.  This means that a certain time (Likely 7 PM on a first Tuesday) someone will host a Zoom meeting and present a woodworky topic.  Members will be able to watch the presentation, and we may even be able to handle questions from the participants.  As we get better at this, we expect to provide Show-and-Tell segments.   There will be bugs and failures along the way, naturally. If you have not used Zoom we recommend you install it and practise using it.  You can watch a YouTube introduction to Zoom .  If you would like to practice watching live sessions, send your email address to Geo

Third Tuesday of October

Our regular meetings are held on first Tuesdays of each month.  On the third Tuesday in October, the 20th, George is going to hold a Zoom chat with the OWA.  The chat will be informal, and it is designed to collect input from the membership on activities we can hold during these months when face-to-face meetings are not possible.  So that's one objective of the meeting, to collect your ideas and suggestions.  But since we'll all be in our homes, it can also be a bit of a show-and-tell where you can bring your latest opus to the camera, or a shop tour if you carry your laptop-tablet-phone to your shop, or a display of a built-in you were too lazy to disassemble and bring to a meeting...whatever.  Could it be a question-and-answer session?  Why not?  So stay tuned to your mail box where you'll receive an invitation to join that Zoom session, Tuesday 20th of October, 7 PM.

March's Meeting, Tuesday the 5th.

The next meeting of the Ottawa Woodworkers Association is coming up on March 5th.  Let's hope the temperature rises some by then.  If it does, don't forget your dry, warm, indoor footwear for the gym.  As always, meetings run from 7-9 PM, but doors open at 6:30-ish for setting-up.  It's in the basement gym of the Bethany Baptist Church at the Western intersection of Centrepointe and Baseline.  If you're not a member, note that new members are welcome to attend up to two meetings, no charge, before making a commitment to join.  The A La Carte menu includes tool swaps or sales, a 50-50 draw, members showing-and-telling, and who knows what else?  And now for the Menu du Jour: Are you a Maloofophile?  Then you'll be thrilled to learn our feature presenter, OWA member Dean Hummel, will talk about his visit to the Sam Maloof House and his building of a Maloof lounge chair with ottoman.
