MEETINGS and COVID-19:
The City of KCMO mask mandate for meetings is no longer in effect. You may still wear a mask if you like. We will also continue to Zoom the meeting to those members that don't feel comfortable at an in-person meeting or just can't attend the meeting in person. The Zoom details will be emailed to members the week before the meeting.

THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING:
October 12th Regular Meeting:

KC Woodturners member Paul Goetzman has been making wooden sleeves for coffee tumblers for several years. They look really nice. A sleeve takes a long time to turn accurately, and accuracy is very important. Paul will show how to chuck these on a lathe for turning and explain how he turns them accurately.

The October 12th Woodturning Challenges (chosen by Kris Coyan and Anthony Harris) is (1) To make a skew tree or flower and color it or (2) make a holiday tree ornament.  One of the Challenge entrants will be randomly chosen to win a nice prize, probably three Craft Supplies gift cards.

RENEWED 2026 Members: Your new 2026 KCWT Membership Cards will be located in the metal cardfile box in the Clubhouse Lobby window. Pick yours up anytime the clubhouse is open (see the Guild open shop schedule).

NEW 2026 Members: Your new KCWT Name Badges and Membership Cards will be stored on the KC Woodturners badge rack inside the front door to the right of the clubhouse main entrance door.

Current KCWT membership cards give members 10% discount on non-electrical items at Woodcraft, Schutte Lumber, Metro Hardwoods, Rockler, Penn State, and Klingspor. This 10% discount is an enormous member benefit. Many members use this benefit to pay for their dues many times over.


FUTURE MEETING DEMOS:

November 9th Regular Meeting:
Special Safety Topic Meeting - Respiratory Devices . We will talk about how to overcome dust concerns and the physical affects of using nothing. Members are asked to bring their personal devices to the meeting.
