Business
Treasurer report  by Lavern Howell.
Minutes from the May 25th meeting were accepted by the members present.

NEW BUSINESS
Faye talked with the manager at Rockler who decided that we can set up a demo in the fall.  
(2)  David Borg has talked with the Manager, Paul at WoodCraft in Plano setting up the arrangements for our club to do a demo in store on July 6.
We can start setting up at 9:30AM.  The store will let us use their saw, with David Borg and Harmon Atkins also bringing  saws from home.  The store will provide us space, and tables to use for our brag table.  If anyone wants to sell their brag items, please tag your items with the price and have your own money for change. This should be a fun day and we can hopefully interest the store customers into coming to our meetings.  Our members will bring items to cut and other projects for customers to cut. The store manager will send out an email to his customers letting them know we will be there.   We will also be allowed to hang our club banner outside to let customers that we are in the store.

BRAG ITEMS
Faye was given a hand carved nativity.  She wanted all of us to check it out and see if we might know who and when it could have been carved. 
(2) Faye cut, painted and set up small animals to be used as a mobile for young children. Very unique and she used a Judy Gayle Roberts pattern.
Jo Ann   2 trivets and a cross designed by Sue Mey.
David Borg   did a craft show in East Texas. He discovered carved wedding & love spoons.   Love spoons were originally done by a man wanting to show interest in a woman.  If his carving was good enough, then the family decided if he could date their daughter.   Very interesting.
Bob Mccary showed his JOY that was scrolled and then woodburned. He also had several carved pieces.  
Grover pierce   had a round ornament designed by Alex Fox ,  (2) He also cut and and painted several toys. These were cut from one inch plywood which he found he had change blades too often. One inch ply tended go dull his blades. He got his patterns from Etsy.  
Eddie Warren cuts an ornament for all of the members of Kathy’s 4 orchestras.  This year he decided to cut a patriotic pattern.  He used Steve Good’s USA pattern and reduced the size for magnets.
(2) Eddie also cuts a table decoration  for each table at a dinner they go to.  He also used a Steve Good pattern with a musical theme.
Kirk Riley cut and painted a frog.  So cute. (2) He also cut an Alex Fox pattern with a draped cross and a bible.   Very good
