President's Message

                Our meeting this month will be a tour of Anderson Guitar thanks to the efforts of Ed
                Reed. Check the Whoozin announcement for a map of the tour site. We will also be
                having our elections for next year. If you want to nominate anyone, be sure you have
                their acceptance to serving for the next year.

It is with sorrow that I let you know that former member Marshall Nathenson’s wife passed away
Janurary 9th. He was her primary care giver the last 5 years so had to drop his membership, but he may be
coming to meetings again in the near future.

Our March meeting will be a presentation by Bill Aurand on making shadow boxes. He has made a
number of them over the years to display memorial items. We will be installing the new officers at that
meeting and the challenge for March is a kitchen item. Let’s get to making sawdust and have a large
number of entries for that challenge.

See you Thursday at the tour.

Arlen

Arlen Handberg
President
Conejo Valley Woodworkers Association

Note From The Editor

It’s Election time! This month we not only get to elect a new President and Board but also get the bonus
of taking a tour through a real guitar fabrication facility! Please plan to attend. It’s important to participate
in the Club. It’s also fun and rewarding to volunteer for a Club Committee, Shop Tour, or Skill Building
event. See you there!

                                               Club Gatherings

Don’t forget: Besides the regular monthly meeting, the Club has several get togethers every month.

   2nd Tuesday:        Just Coffee, 10:00 to 11:30am, Oaks Mall Food Court
   3rd Wednesday:      Breakfast, 9:00 to 10:00am, Pickles Newbury Park, 1940 Newbury Road
   4th Friday:         Breakfast, 9:00 to 10:00am, Denny's Camarillo

All of these are great opportunities to meet with fellow woodworkers to have coffee or a meal and swap
stories.

                                                  Club Store

Reminder that there is Club merchandise available from Café Press. Several items are

everything you buy!

Skill Building Workshop

On January 12th, Dave Seider held a skill building workshop. Members learned how to make a box with
