A Multi-Turner Gloat

[Christopher K. Hartley]

I'm not sure how much is OK to mention here on the NG but I'd like for all of you to share in our Gloat. Today we, the Lone Star Woodturners Association, have been officially approved by the Chapters and Membership Committee, (Dr. Larry Genender – Chairman), as an official chapter in the American Association of Woodturners! Here is a link to our first Newsletter after our January Founders meeting. (I won't post any more of them here) This is special to me as it is also my 60th birthday today. WOW! what a present.:D:)
