Registration Open to LSW
Members Until August 20th
We’re
changing up the way we’re doing registration for these events so we can have a
solid headcount by September 1st. LSW members will have the first opportunity
to fill Rudy’s workshops. On August 21st, we’ll open registration to the public
and nearby AAW members–wouldn’t it be great to fill a third workshop with
fellow woodturners from other clubs?
