The Wood Spinner Monthly Journal of The Central Virginia Wood Turners ISSUE 12 December 2014 It was a Very Good Year! President’s Corner Christmas Party – 12-9-2014 Party feedback would indicate we all had a good time with delicious food and fellowship. Great to have all the ladies and families as guests to enjoy the evening. Several spouses were first timers. We hope you had a good time and will return again. Fred Williamson did a great job as first time Food Czar and kept us organized. Thanks to Fred, and all the many volunteers that assisted. We try to fine tune the event preparations each year. Mars Champaign was not able to attend as he had another volunteer job to handle (Lions Toys for Tots Coordinator). We want to give a huge thanks to Mars for handling the CVW Newsletter as editor. I would suspect Mars out-volunteers all of us, even at age 91. Peter Welch has stepped up to replace Mars as editor. Oh yes, our Tom Evans goofed up his calendar and could not attend and then he wins as one of the four in our Cherry Challenge AND won the raffle for the giant chunk of rosewood!! Good luck chases him down. Thanks to the many members who helped make this affair happen. Have a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
