Fellow Turners: I know I don’t have thank each of you individually who participated in the President’s Challenge because I know the children who get your lovingly made work will be overjoyed.

Fellow turners, Just a few brief comments are in order. As expected the demonstration last Wednesday evening was just plain fun.
