HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT OUR CLUB LIBRARY?
Please take the time to look over the listing of library books that we have available for club members to check out.
The list of books in our club library is in the Members' Only section of our club website (and you can mark which books you are interested in checking out right from that listing!).
Our club librarian (Peggy Cross) will then bring the books to the next club meeting for you to pick up. Please return them at the following club meeting.
Thank you!
FYI..Thanks to Allan Price's generous donation, we also have quite a collection of scroll saw magazines as part of our library. We will soon have those added to the listing of items that can be checked out from our club library.

A reminder that ANYONE (even folks who are not members of our club) can receive a 5% discount on items purchased from Bear Woods (www.bearwood.com) by using the code CUTUPS (all caps) at check out (with the exception of orders for the Pegas scroll bandsaw and stands for the Pegas power tools). There is a lot of great stuff you can buy at Bear Woods, but I think the #1 item that our club members buy are the Modified Geometry scroll saw blades.
And MEMBERS OF OUR CLUB also receive a 10% discount on orders placed with Klingspor (www.woodworkingshop.com) (does not apply to already discounted items or to any power tools). We periodically send a roster of club members to Klingspor, so they know who our members are. Be sure that you first set up a Klingspor customer account and that you do not check out as a Guest (Klingspor uses the phone number you enter when setting up an account to match to our club roster in order to recognize you as a club member and give you the discount at check out). Klingspor is well known for their abrasives (sandpaper) and I think the #1 item that our club members buy are their sanding mops.
And MEMBERS OF OUR CLUB also receive a 15% discount on all Hegner products offered by Advanced Machinery. Contact club member Lewis Dow about how to order and get your discount (Lewis's contact information is on the club roster of members in the MEMBER'S ONLY section the website).
