I just want to remind you and ask that you remind your chapter members that there are still spaces to register for the AAW Symposium in Louisville June 22 - 24. For information and registration, go to http://www.woodturner.org/sym/sym2006/ For door prizes, every paid registered attendee will be eligible to win one of the five, Oneway 2436 lathes that we will give away. They don't even have to haul it home. We will pay up to $400 shipping right to their door. We were able to offer these lathes because of very generous special pricing offered to us by Oneway Manufacturing. In addition to the 5 lathes, we will give away fifty, $100 gift certificates that were generously donated by Packard Woodworks. All young people ages 10 through 17 who are accompanied by a paid adult, will receive free registration and be eligible to win one of the 25 complete turning outfits. These outfits consist of a JET midi lathe on a stand donated by WMH Tool Group, a set of Crown Tools donated by Crown Tools, a Nova Precision Midi Chuck donated by Teknatool International, a face shield donated by Woodcraft Stores, and a set of goggles donated by Dust Bee Gone. The youth turning room will allow the registered young people to attend free classes by Bonnie Klein and Nick Cook. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Bring your kids and grandkids. The kids must be registered through the AAW office at 651-484-9094. There will be 34 world class demonstrators and the world's largest instant gallery and woodturning trade show. I hope to see you there. John Hill - Chairman Chapters and Membership Committee 828-645-6633 johnrhill@charter.net
