New Mexico Woodturners,
The primary mission of New Mexico Woodturners is “…for educational purposes and its mission is to educate woodturners and the public in and about the art and craft of woodturning.” Thank you for supporting that mission, for being a contributing part of NMWT. Thanks to all of you, Michael Mocho and Hy Tran we were able to start a Woodturning Foundations class on April 21st. This is a prime example of why we exist.
The Fiber Arts Fiesta was good for NMWT, they were all glad we were there, there was good interest in our booth. I hope you got a chance to participate or check it out. We plan on sticking with the Fiber Arts Council.
Coming soon, NMWT will be displaying in the Cherry Hills Library in July and later on in October in the Sunport. We will need your support to make these displays interesting and eye-catching.
Thank you so much for the Beads of Courage boxes last meeting, 6 total and that’s the biggest bunch donated at any single meeting in our history. If you haven’t made a box yet, time to get after it. We’ve got wood, we’ve got beads, all we need is you to spend some time right where you love to be, on the lathe.
HEY WHERE ARE YOU ON THESE CHALLENGES? ANY PROGRESS?
- Get involved, your board officers are due replacement at the end of 2024, WE NEED YOU
- Beads of Courage boxes, make 2024 the biggest year for NMWT BOC donations
- Pens for Troops, this is the year YOU turn 10, 20 or more
- Expand and improve your turning, get involved, demo at the fair, attend club meetings and have fun
Want to be more active in NMWT, let us know. We want you to play a part in what this club does, who this club reaches and advancing turners from every skill level. Lend a hand, you won’t be sorry.
Tom Durgin
NMWT President
