December 3rd Social and Canada has the best screws.

Our next meeting takes place on Tuesday December 3, as always except for the other times, on the first Tuesday of the month.  Here's what our OWA President, Rob Suarez, says about it:

The OWA welcomes all members, their family and friends who wish to attend this year's December social meeting.  We ask members to bring snacks, pot luck style, to accompany the coffee and drinks we will have on hand.  Bring the holiday gifts you're currently working on for the Show-and-Tell segment.  Bring your unwanted tools as we would like to see a large tool sale as part of this event.  There will be a hand-tool challenge.  Those participating in the hand-tool challenge will earn a ballot for the (TBA) prize.  See you all there. 
Rob Suarez

The social is to be at our regular site, the basement of the Bethany Baptist Church at the Western intersection of Centrepoint and Baseline, 7 to 9 PM.  Bring separate dry footwear for the gym floor.

So here's how it came about that Canada has the best screws, and we're not talking about Pierre Burton's canoe.  No, wood screws.
