Business New Treasurer’s report Cynthia gave the treasurer’s report that was passed to her by Faye Benezue. Minutes for the July 26,2025 meeting are located on the dfwscroller.net website. If anyone has changes that need to be made please contact Jo Ann. joannw@windstream.net Announcements In the July meeting, Faye stated that the Bedford Police department requested our club to cut plaques stating THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE designed by Dirk Boelman. The police department plans on giving these plaques to the policemen that were also military veterans. 20 plaques were brought to the August meeting and Faye has 3 more, making a total of 23 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE plaques. Faye will deliver these to the Bedford police department. Glenn applied and received notification that he has been picked as one of the veterans that will be honored and spend a weekend with different activities in October in Washington D C. Glenn will give us a talk during the October meeting. So proud of Glenn to have been chosen. LibraryRemember that the club has a nice library which includes books, patterns, and C D’s for our use. These can be checked out and returned to the next meeting. We also have been given patterns provided by scrollers that we can just take for personal use. This allows us to cut down on purchasing new patterns. ASK THE EXPERTS Jo Ann presented a solution to a continuing problem. When gluing parts together, we usually have glue that squeezes out. I have started using bamboo sticks to clean up the glue. The sticks can be purchased in the barbeque cooking section in Walmart for $1.06. This should be a life time or use. When the tips get dull, I just sharpen them in a pencil sharpener. If some remaining glue is in tight places, I use toothpicks for clean up. Cynthia asked where to purchase magnets. Harmon suggested Harbor Freight. The magnets are thin enough to use on back of small projects. Where get magnets Harbor freight Craftparts.com for hangers and many other craft parts. Inexpensive and good service. Clip Art ----clipartdogs) this is an easy way to find good pictures of animals or other projects you want to cut. You can follow the lines in these pictures and this helps when you can not find a pattern. I cut from 2 layers of cheap wood with several layers of white or different colored card stock. Easy way to make your own pattern.
BRAG TABLE David Borg--relief carving Santa cutting with beard, used bass wood and is hard to keep clean with fibers. Som suggestions were given on cleaning bass wood.
