The Spring Round-up was another special event.

Thanks to Vera, Nona and Lonnie Myrick and Sandra Clarke behind the desk for helping make this event run so smoothly.  For those of you who were not able to attend this past spring, you really missed a great time.

Another great job was done by our Raffle Chairperson, Mary Jo Smith and her team. Our members donated three tables full of items and, as last year, we had a lot of fun at the banquet dinner.

A special thanks needs to be given to Bill Clarke and his awards committee for the way in which this special awards ceremony was presented.  Congratulations to those who received an award ~ what great choices!

Our attendance was down!  A special blessing goes out to those who had to cancel.  We missed you and wish you and yours well.

We are looking ahead to the Fall Extravaganza that is just around the corner -- you need to start making your plans now for attending.  There will be some new instructors coming to us this fall.

The Texas State Carving Championship Show & Sale will be held at the Hill Country Youth Exhibition Center on October 9 & 10, 2010.  The show will be on the weekend before the Classes.
Classes will still be held at the Inn of the Hills this fall.  Our Show Chairman, George Vaughn, is working very hard to make this an outstanding show.  Get your table(s) reserved early, space is limited.  This is a great way to let the public know what our Clubs are doing and what is available to buy and to see what carving is all about.

In the newsletter you will find classes, schedule of events and instructors.  Another good source of information is our website texaswoodcarversguild.com -- this is something you need to check on a regular basis.  NOTE: If there are any changes in class schedules (i.e., instructor's cancellation or full classes), the web site will have that information long before you can get another newsletter.  The class schedule and instructor information will be posted on the website at the time the newsletter comes out.

This fall we will have our annual auction and are asking you to plan ahead to bring as many items as you can.  The auction will be held at our Fall Extravaganza banquet on Thursday night, October 14.

Try really hard to make the Fall Extravaganza -- you won't be disappointed.

Chip away,

Bill Bang
