4. A. motion was made and passed - three DVD's will be purchased to add to the club library from the AAW Symposium
5. On August 1, 2005 the Committee on Charging Members for Saturday Demonstrations met to discuss the issue of charging members and guests for the all day demonstrations by the celebrity woodturners. It was the unanimous recommendation from the committee that the club policy be changed to allow NEOWTA members, guests and students
(high school age or younger) to attend the all day demonstrations without charge. Members of other woodturning clubs would be charged an amount equal to the NEOWTA yearly dues. This would also make them members in the NEOWTA club and access to all benefits of membership. A motion was made to accept the Committee's recommendation and passed.
6. Marc Schreiber volunteered to be Club Librarian. He will do an inventory of the club's current video's and will make recommendations back to the board on video's / DVD's to update the library.
7. Stan Townsend reported that the wood carvers netted $990.00 from the Wonderful World of Woods show July 8 - 9, 2005
