Activities:
During the past week the last group of tugboats (30) were sprayed. So today, they needed to be sanded with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper today. Also this week, basketball backboard/hoop subassemblies were sprayed with clear gloss lacquer. They were now ready to be installed om the base subassemblies. And lastly, cup and ball cups and handles were sprayed this week, leaving only ball and strings to be attached for completion.
Critters in bags: On Friday 10-20-2017, a group of members (Mary Jo Anderson, Mary Green, Carol Maron and Kathie Buchanan) met to organize all critters and put them into bags. Approximately 860 critters were placed in 86 hand made cotton bags for moving to inventory today.)
