Doug Brown has notified us that the due to other commitments Pear Valley Vineyard will not be available. He and Larry truesdale are seeking out other venues. Stay Tuned Gordon Rowland took a straw vote asking which topic would be made by Sally Ault in her upcoming demonstration, the results are Jewelry and lidded boxes. Her demonstration will be held on Saturday January 20 th in Ron Glahn s Shop in Arroyo Grande. Start time will be 9:00 AM with a break for lunch close to noon. Reminder Bring your chair and lunch. Several quick food facilities are nearby. A $25.00 fee will be accepted from each attendee. Some members of CCW have displayed and sold goods at the Morro Bay Gallery and report that payment is made in a few days, not like old times. A suggestion is that more turners take advantage of the gallery for sales.

E-mails have been traded with members of the Channel Island Woodturners and it was learned that 3 members have lost their homes and shops to the Thomas Fire.
