OWA 2022-23 Regular Dues

Thanks to covid19, we will not be meeting in person during the first half of the 2022-23 season.  As we learn more about the pandemic in the Autumn, we may resume in-person meetings as early as January, but at the moment we feel that's unlikely.  Whereas we do not have to rent a physical meeting location, the number of regular participants has dropped.  Certain expenses: insurance, a Zoom license, and occasional stipends for presenters, for example, remain.  What's more, the revenue from 50-50 draws and drink sales is absent.  Accordingly dues will be kept at $50 per year.

OWA 2022-23 Regular Dues

The OWA annual membership fee is $50.  It provides participation in club activities from September of one year to August of the next.  Non-members may attend one or two meetings -- ask for a guest pass -- before deciding whether to become members.  Paying dues can be done using PayPal at this web page.  It is important that renewals be done at the beginning of an OWA year, around September, so that the Membership Secretary can distinguish continuing members from those who have left the club.  If you prefer not to use PayPal, contact Jocelyn Plourde as described in the next paragraph.

New Member Joining Late?

If you are a new member joining us late in the OWA season, from January through June, then you are entitled to a rebated membership depending on how much of the year has passed.  This does not apply to late renewals, only to those joining the OWA for the first time.  Instead of using PayPal here, contact Jocelyn Plourde, Treasurer, for further instruction.  Use email to ottawa.woodworkers.assoc@gmail.com  It will be helpful to add "Attention: Jocelyn Plourde" in the subject line.

Student Member Dues

Full-time students may join the OWA at a reduced annual fee of $25.  Students who join or renew through PayPal should present their student cards to the club secretary at the next meeting they attend. Taking a one- or two-week course at Rosewood Studio does not qualify as full-time studies, but thanks for asking.

Dues Payment via PayPal


Click the down caret at the right end of the upper box to the right to indicate whether you are paying for a regular or student membership.  With the lower box choose whether you are joining for the first time or renewing membership for this year.  Note that membership badges will not be printed during the pandemic restrictions on meetings.

Jazz Up your Tool Handles

Image
Are you up for a special treat in October's meeting?  Karen McBride has upgraded her internet service and will be able to star in the Feature Presentation of the Month .  Her topic will be Inlay Bespoked Tool Handles .  Yes that's so: Instead of settling for a plain hickory hammer handle, why not jazz it up with a meaningful -- or just pretty -- inlay?  As always there will be time for the rest of us to contribute with shop tours, summer accomplishments, Q's to be A'ed by the experienced among us, personal tool reviews, and any other short presentations of interest to woodworkers. So, if you're on the mailing list of the Ottawa Woodworkers Association or that of the Kingston Artisans, you will soon receive a Zoom invitation to the meeting: First Tuesday in October (the 5th) starting at 7 PM.  Come early -- at 6:59 -- to help set up chairs.

Season Launch: Tuesday 13th September

Our 22-23 Season Launch takes place on Tuesday the 13th of September at 7:00 PM.  The remaining 9 meetings from October to June are held on the first Tuesdays of each month, but in September we give it an extra week to let parents recover from the beginning of the school year.  As has become the norm, members will receive Zoom invitations by email.  On tap this month we have: Wayne's World Wayne Richardson moved homes recently and thus had to tear down his previous shop to rebuild a new one.  Working with an experienced perspective of what works and what doesn't, he will take us on a tour of his new, almost finished, woodshop. Norman's Book Norman Pirollo has published an ebook entitled Quiet Woodworking , featuring, as you might guess from the title, working with handtools.  A little of Norman's background and a photo of the book's cover are just clicks away.
