· Minutes from last meeting
· Notice of Ray Hyde deciding to step down as secretary and board member (but continuing as a valued member of the Lake Superior Woodturners). I would like to express my great appreciation for all of the hard work Ray has done over the last 2½ years+ his strong voice, and ideas on the board will be missed. Please take a moment to thank Ray for his service to the club.
With that said there is a position open on the board, not expecting someone to jump into the secretary position, but would like to find someone who is interested in filling the open spot on the board and completing the rest of Ray’s term.
