| Who are the Kettle Karvers? We are a group of people who enjoy various types of wood- carving. We range in skill from professional carvers to rank beginners, so all who share an interest in this hobby are welcome. How long have we been around? The first meeting of the woodcarvers' group was held on September 6, 1989 with 20 people attending. By September 5, 1990 the Corporation papers were returned from the state with the name Kettle Karvers Klub Inc. We have been holding meetings ever since. What do we do? Mostly we have fun. Some of the activities that we do in the course of the year include Saturday carves, a woodcarving show, carving for charities, a summer picnic, and a winter banquet. In April, 2012, we will be holding our 22nd annual woodcarving show in Sheboygan Falls. What are the dues and what are the benefits of being a member? The dues are $10 per year. The benefits are many. You get use of our extensive carving library. I don't know exactly how many books, magazines, tapes/DVD's, or study sticks we have, but I am very happy that I am not the librarian who has set them out for every meeting. You get to attend the Saturday carves where you may learn something new from an experienced member. You get to meet a bunch of nice people who, if you have a question on how to do a certain type of carving or technique, will be more than willing to help you (of course they would help you if you were a member or not). How do you join? The easiest way is to stop by on one of our monthly meetings and pay the treasurer the annual fee. Then stop over at the secretary and give your contact information, name, address, phone number, and email address if you have one. This gets you on the mailing list for our monthly newsletter. I can be contacted at kettlekarvers. |
