Presidents Message,
COVID seems to be subsiding and mask guidance from the CDC have been reduced. Masks will not be required for those of us that are fully vaccinated and boosted. Please continue to be considerate of others and wear a mask covering your nose and mouth if you have not received all your vaccinations. Thank you for your help in this.
I hope you had learned a tip or two from my presentation. Being locked up in my workshop for a couple of years during the pandemic did lead to improvements in my shop and tools. Having lots of time allows one to think of improvements and having the time to get them done was useful. Not my first choice of how to spend a couple of years but glad I have a hobby that keeps me busy and entertained.
We still need a volunteer for a talk and/or demonstration for December 2022. Please contact Harry Schultz or myself with ideas or suggestions.
Free tables!! A free silent auction table will also be available.
Educational Talks Scheduled:
The May Educational talk will be entitled “Digging for Gold” by Mike Dempsey. Learn some tips and tricks on what to look for in and out of a mart room will be discussed. Featured will be watches from the 1600’s until the 1950’s that I am sure very few of you have ever seen before. Photographs and descriptions will be shown in a PowerPoint format. Sure to be very interesting even if you are not a watch collector.
Bill Galinsky will demonstrate making clock hands November 13.
Hope to see you all there.
Thanks,
Craig
