[Woodcarver] New Carving club

[Linehan718 at aol.com]

Tonight we had the very first monthly meeting of the brand new Staten  
Island Woodcarvers club.  It has been a pet project of mine to get one  started 
for awhile now and I have to say it was a great success.  We  had 13 members 
attend.  We discussed the goals of our club, first and  foremost to be for 
friendship, to promote woodcarving and for education and  networking 
purposes. We then voted on our official club name.  We made  plans to have an 
announcement placed in our local paper. It is to be free,  non political, no 
work, no commitments and open to all carvers, burners, scroll  saw and  lathe 
artists, marquetry, stone carvers and fine furniture  builders. We went around 
and did introductions and then had a show and  tell.  I am very happy that 
all went well and I couldn't be happier with  our location.  It was held in 
a local church parish house. The building was  beautiful, almost 150 years 
old and kept in pristine condition.  It is  situated on 144 acres of parkland 
which includes one of the oldest cemeteries in  the country.  It is the 
family cemetery of the wealthy Vanderbilt family so  of course it was also 
quite beautiful.  We will be meeting on the 1st wed  of every month.
