June Cancelled.

Not just the meeting; we're cancelling the month.  Seriously, no surprise, the June meeting of the Ottawa Woodworkers Association that would otherwise take place on the 2nd, will not be held.  As that meeting would have called for the election of the 2020-2021 OWA officers, the current OWA executive will meet, virtually, to discuss provisional properties of the next OWA season.  If firm-ish plans emerge, they will be described here.  Check back.

So everyone, have a great (i.e. safe) summer break!
