Twenty five members and two guest were at the November meeting which is the official Annual Meeting of the Club. The report of the Nominating Committee was accepted and the 2016 Officers and Directors wre elected to serve in their same roles for 2017.
Show and Tell
Twelve Club members submitted pepper mills for the Club Challenge and eight displayed turnings for Show and Tell. Apologies to all the members who participated - the Webmaster is in Australia but his notes listing the turnings and who created them are in West Virginia so there are no captions describing the turnings or listing names.
