Our February 9th meeting was attended by 25 members
The president’s challenge was to turn something with a handle. Unfortunately, I failed to write down the winners’ names and my memory is faulty. I apologize. If the winners let me know who they are I will recognize them in the next newsletter
The president’s challenge for the March meeting is to turn a lidded box.
