The wood show brought in $1,391 net.  Of this, $331 came from raffles, $760 came from the silent auction, and the remainder came through donations to the club.

 

71 names were cut by club members, which was also responsible for a number of the club donations.

 

            As a reminder for next year, we should be saving the sign-in slips.

Al Oines reported no shop tours or events are scheduled for May, although the wood turners interest group met in West Hills Wood Shop this month.   

 

A shop tour at Larry Kellogg’s is scheduled for  June 12, 1:00, in Spearfish.  Bob will send out a map at a later date.

Other Topics

Black Hills Battles is scheduled for Sept. 14 at old Story Book Island.  Stu will have 54 giraffes ready for the event.  The club has worked on a number of giraffes for the battle as well. 

Boys Club Pinewood Derby help, July 8, 9, 10.  Carrie is the point of contact along with Tanner Tucker. 

Tool sale will be June 15. Because of demographic changes, there is no parking at Wes’s.  So, we are looking for a new location for the tool sale.  If an item goes to the club, mark it with 99.  Tony will total sales for each unique ID number, save 10% for the club and the remainder to the individual.  Tools are most welcome but other items can be brought for the sale as well.
