A new year is about to dawn and we have our nominations for our 2010 officers. Another year of learning and teaching from the best. See the line up of officers in the minutes below.

If we missed anyone that would like to run for office please contact us and we'll have your name added before the elections next meeting Nov 9.

Thanks to Everyone for their service, demo's and lectures this past year. This was a group effort that makes it fun and worthwhile for everyone.

 

After Elections our Nov 9 meeting will also have David Booth Bushing a Connecticut Wooden Movement. He'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

 

Our down south connection Dave Hannemann paid us a visit last meeting. Looking great as usual and stories to tell. Hopefully he finds a horological group near his home when he gets his workshop running.

Good see you Dave!

The 50/50 was won by Dave Hanneman. 

 

Stan provided a summary of the AWCI member survey previously conducted.  He emphasized that our club’s make up was very similar to most of the other clubs in the organization.  Stan questioned if our membership in the AWCI still provided benefit to us, and if not, in what direction should we go?  There was much discussion about exploring our options with NAWCC with the possibility of establishing a chapter with emphasis on watch and clock repairing.  There was agreement that we are not happy with AWCI and should plan a trip to NAWCC headquarters to discuss our options with their management.  No planned action was voted on.
