Hello fellow SPSW members. Attached is this month's newsletter. This month we are electing the Board of Directors for next year. We have five new nominated members for the board on the list. We hope that you are able to make the meeting so that you can cast your vote.

This month's program is provided by a panel of SPSW members on the topic of Bowl Design. The panel includes: Dave Best, Pat McCart, Ethan Green, Dan Stromsted, John Howard, JoAnn Amberg, Ashley Sherrill and Ed White.

Our annual Holiday potluck is next month and you will find the food assignments in Kathy's message.

As you'll read in John Howard's store update, the club store will not be open at the December meeting so if you have any turning supplies you will need before January's meeting make sure to pick them up this month.

Devin has a report on the Wood Rats activities in October and information on joining the Wood Rats next year. AND, I hear a rumor about another fabulous harvest in December!

Kent, our AAW liasion has great information about the happenings with AAW, including the new website and improved capabilities on it. If you have any questions or comments about the AAW please contact Kent. He is involved in the conversations between the AAW and the chpaters and has a great knowledge of all things AAW.

The 2027 Workshop Class schedule is in the newsletter and provides informaton on the topics, presenters and available slots. If you are looking to up your woodturning game, these provide great, small class, opportunities.

I hope to see you at the meeting.
