RECOGNITION
We now have a recognized international carver among us: Travis Wick
received word that his entry into the Ward World Championship
Wildfowl Competition in Ocean City, Maryland took 3rd place in the
songbird category.
CONGRATULATIONS, Travis!
Treasure 's Report:
Vivian Wendorf gave the Treasurer's Report in place of Harvery who
was Ill. A preliminary financial report was given regarding the show
income and expenses. There were 100 less paid attendees this year
than last year and it appears that the overall income was only $4.47
less than the previous year. This should be an indication to us that
there is interest in and a reputation for the Kettle Karvers Klub.
Meeting Minutes:
The meeting was called to order by president Darrell Abston.
Three dear friends joined us and it was so good to see them again.
They are: Diana Witt, Steve King and Bill Wright. Welcome and come
again!
Library Report:
Librarian Lori Jarosh purchased six new books for the club:
Architectural Carving
Carving Gargoyles
Hand Preparation-Male Sample
Relief Carving Wood Spirits
Carousel Horse Carving
Carve Your Own Totem Pole.
Sunshine:
Mary reported that a card was sent out to Frank Lohr wishing him a
speedy recovery. Our wishes came true because Frank was at the
meeting looking very well.
SHOW REPORT:
Neal Lorenz extended a huge “Thank You” to all for their work and
contribution to the show. Special thanks went to Bob Lawrence who
carved the “Best of Show” plate which was awarded to Don Welti.
Recognition was also given to the set-up crew, the judges, Ron Feld
for the mirror used in the demos, those who worked at the
registration and raffle tables and our photographer, Phil Schils.
Our Featured Carver, Phil Hueniink, had a wonderful display of his
various carvings which caught the eye of many visitors.
Comment was made that perhaps the “Kids Carve” should occur in the
morning hours of the show instead of the afternoon as that seemed to
be the time that most of the children were present.
There were 25 items donated for the raffle. Vivian Wendorf wondered
if the raffle could also consist of non carved items which would offer
something a little different to those who enjoy other craft talent as well.
Other items discussed was that more coffee was needed for the
workers. It was decided that coffee will be available throughout the
day. There was an admission/monitoring problem in that it appeared
that people were getting into the show via the food vendor's line
without paying admission to the show. This will be addressed at the
next show's set-up plan.
Pictures from the show can be seen on our website :www.kettlekarvers.
