Chipping In: Angela Gunn
Angela Gunn has received our inaugural Chipping In award for her quick willingness to help out in several important roles over the last few years. She stepped in to be the SVW photographer when our cameraman moved away, and she has been the club’s WIT liaison, representing us with the AAW’s important Women In Turning program. She frequently participates in the president's challenges, often comments on her woodturning experiences, and shares her joy at what she has learned lately. Also, on her own initiative Angela developed the wood and grit ID guessing game as a table icebreaker at our holiday party. She found and brought all the wood, and sandpaper samples (and the prizes). Angela can often be found in the front row at meetings helping us stay focused and on track, and at our other events with camera in hand, documenting our wood, turning, learning, and sharing. Thanks Angela for always ‘Chipping In’ as a participant in the club!

October Wood Event
A big thanks goes out to Dennis for hosting a wood event on October 7th. We had wood, tools, a demo, and lunch! What more could a turner ask for? Just one of the many reasons to be a part of the club. Thanks to all who helped make it happen, and thanks to Angela for the pictures.
