President's Corner
The summer has been good for our club. with the turn out for our meetings running 75 to 80 carvers in attendance. Thanks to all the activities our club is doing, we continue to grow in membership, with one or two new members joining us each month.
The Marion County Fair was a lot of fun and successful with folks showing up in record numbers to help our Club demonstrate the art of carving to Fair goers. Many of our members won ribbons for their entries at the Fair. Thanks for all your support. We hope that the Club support for the State Fair later this month is even greater. Please don't forget the annual Club picnic at Bush Park August 26th at 6:00 pm. Bring your favorite pot luck dish, eating utensils, chairs and something to carve. SEE YOU THERE!!!!
Update on the "Wounded Warrior Eaglehead Cane" project. We are planning our next trip to Fort Lewis WA on Friday Sept 26th. At present we have 16 canes on hand, with 26 more canes promised, but not yet completed. With no club meetings scheduled until after we go on the trip I am asking everyone to bring your completed canes to the club picnic this month.
Thanks for your support

SENIOR CENTER UPDATE
The Salem Senior Center will be closing on August 15, 2008 until Monday, October 6, 2008. The last two weeks of August are the usual closing. The month of September is for the moving to the new building. The new building is schedule to be open on October 6.
This means the carvers have some changes coming. The September meeting will be cancelled as it was the thinking that two meetings in October would be too much. There will also be NO carving on Friday afternoons during September.
To replace the Friday afternoon carvings, Everett Koontz has offered to have carving at his house.
