Be sure to wish him luck when you see him.

 

I also want to Thank LeRoy Roberts for taking over the Secretary's Job. Stepping up to the plate is very appreciated and if there is anything you need to make the job easier let us or Dave know. LeRoy was a Board Member and has now changed to a Officer. We'll fill the empty Board position if a Vote comes up that requires it.

 

Thanks to Bob and Stan for our June 8 Lecture, hope there will be many more to follow. It was very interesting and we only scatched the surface on the many types of watch cases and fittings .

 

June 22,

John Kuntz gave a lecture on the steps needed to learn on Reverse Glass Painting. Covering oil, acrylic, stensile topic made for a very good meeting.

Thanks John!
