Out of an abundance of caution, given the gravity of the rapidly spreading corona virus pandemic, the RCWA is modifying some of its upcoming events:
The SS SIG scheduled for Thursday 19 March 2020 at Rick's Shop is cancelled.
The Toy Workshop for 21 March 2020 at the CFB from 9 to noon is modified from a workshop to an exchange from 10 am to 10:30 am. If you have items to bring in, or want to pick up items to work on at home, please come to the Club for Boys Shop between 10 am to 10:30 am on Saturday morning. I have several items that can be taken home for hand sanding (pickup trucks, busses and oldies); lots of toys for RIGID or belt sanding, drilling and routering; blocks to sand; chalkboard handles to cut; critters to cut; lots of toys to cut; tugboat hulls to sand and drill, etc. If you are unable to work at home or at a friend's shop, you probably can skip this event.
The next workshop (May 28th) will probably also be an exchange. More details will be released prior to that event.
The 12th annual Woodworking Show scheduled for Saturday 18 April 2020 from 8 am to 4 pm at the Knecht Home Center is postponed. Rick will be working with personnel at Knecht's to select a new date, probably in the late May or June time frame. So if you haven't quite finished your "Anything that Flies" projects, you will have a little more time.
I will keep you updated as things change in the upcoming weeks.
I would like to share a quote from the Highland Woodworker in Atlanta:
"In the meantime, our first priority is keeping our entire staff safe so we can continue to serve you as we've enjoyed doing for the past ...
We believe staying home and spending more time doing woodworking in your workshop would be an excellent choice. It will help you remain energetic, creative and productive during this stressful situation that's causing extreme suffering for many people while seriously impacting almost everyone's normal activities."
Thanks. Bob B and Rick W
