The club offers a wide range of opportunities for its members to improve their turning techniques and enjoy the company of other turners. There are demonstrations by  club members at our meetings.  Renown guest turners do 6 hour workshops several times during the year at a nominal charge to club members.  A free video and text library is available for their use.  Members are invited to participate in our monthly wood auction.  All are encouraged to bring samples of recent work to our "SHOW & TELL and become active participants.  The club participates in the activities of the American Association of  Woodturners and encourages its members to join. Many members attend their yearly symposium.
