Next Meeting March 18th    

The March meeting will be at 7:00 pm on the 18th at the University of Tennessee Space institute, room H111.

About The Program

The March program will be given by Pete Miller, one of our club members. Pete will present a program on the art of Pyrography. It is as easy or as difficult as you want to make it.

Some of our wood carvers use pyrography to burn feathers or other details onto birds and animals.
Come out and here Pete’s interesting take on the topic.

See you at our March meeting on the 18th.

  TVW NEWS AND NOTES   

2014 EXHIBITION “IN THE SPIRIT OF FINE WOODWORKING”

    Photos below are from the 2014 Exhibition: 

          

          

The exhibition, “In the Spirit of Fine Woodworking” was held at the South Jackson Civic Center in Tullahoma March 2 through 9.
What a great success. Nearly 1,000 visitors viewed the display consisting of over 300 items from 45 exhibitors. It proved a really good
way to promote the club and show what a wonderful and talented group make up the membership. The event did not “just happen”. A lot of
hard work went into making the event successful. It could not have happened without the help and support of a lot of members.
We can’t begin to thank everyone that had a part in the exhibition.

The event chairman, Loyd Ackerman, deserves a big thanks for his leadership and organization of all the activities that were required.
Thanks also to all those that assisted Loyd with various “background” support.

Karen Browning again provided a wonderful reception on the opening Sunday. She and her “helpers” were responsible for a big part of the
success story. They also provided refreshments for club members working or visiting during the exhibition.

Phil Myers, serving as publicity chairman, provided a very wide range of coverage for the event, getting the word out to all news
outlets and radio/cable stations within the area.

Vince Zaccardi did his usual outstanding job of coordinating the event with the South Jackson staff.

Mickey Knowles coordinated the monitor activities. Thanks to Mickey and all the monitors that provided assistance during the open
hours.

Doyle McConnell and Martha Taylor did a great job in the layout and placement of the numerous items making the displays appealing to
those visiting.

The display of all the “door prizes” created interest among the attendees. Thanks to all who donated items for the door prizes.

Thanks to all the members who provided items to display and for their cooperation bringing and picking up the items.
