Recent Club Events
Our 48th Anniversary Annual Show was fun for both visitors and exhibitors. Details about the show including links to media coverage and photos at the show are on the 2024 Annual Show page.
“Dala Horses Ride into Rochester” started with a call to members to create Dala horses. A summary with photos is on the Events>Dala Posse page.
Elections
Elections for club officers will take place at the monthly May meeting. Nominations are open for all four offices: President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. The current Secretary and Treasurer have offered to continue in those positions, but we need nominations for President and Vice President.
These jobs are not hard and we have a number of seasoned members to help out.
Nominations can be directed to any board member or made at the May Meeting.
Next Monthly Meeting – May 18
Steve Elliott – Chainsaw carving with demonstration
Most people recognize that a “power carver” uses rotary tools (like a Dremel) to create their carvings. Steve uses his super-sized tools to attack much larger carvings.
Steve will talk about and possibly demonstrate his huge carving technique.
