our members may bring in their projects for display and discussion.
This is a
very popular part of our meetings and gets much participation.
Field
Trips
We schedule
an occasional field trip to visit an interesting location. i.e. saw mill,
festival, cabinet shop, Hoosier Bat Co.
Shop
Visits
Some members
agree to host open house at their own shop.
This allows their fellow members
to see their equipment and also get to know each other better.
We learn very
much from these shop visits.

Members bring in new and used woodworking tools and materials for auction at our
January meeting.

Toys for Kids
Many of our

In many cases, these are the only toys that
these children will receive at Christmas.
Last year we built 1003 toys.
