We didn’t discuss it at the Biere Library but I am in favor of having a brief board meeting at Consumers on 11/20, brief meaning start at 6:30. Besides continuing our discussion of future meeting topics and open position recruitment I like to having one in hopes of getting someone to show who wants to help.

November Meeting Date and Topic
Our November meeting will be held at 7 pm on Thursday November 20th at the Consumers Power community meeting room, 6990 SW West Hills Rd, Corvallis. The board has decided to have our meetings on various days of the week, not just Mondays, in hopes that members we rarely see will find it easier to attend.
The November meeting topic will be a free-form sharing by attendees of new projects, tools or jigs. The amount of time for each will be dependent on how many join in.
Since the gift giving holidays will be close at hand the sharing of smaller projects suitable for gifts seems especially appropriate but really, anything goes.
We will be having the raffle so bring some small bills so you can buy a ticket, and if you have items to contribute to the raffle they will be much appreciated. Tools and books are the most appropriate. Larger items, such as lumber, are possible but if they aren’t taken you will need to take them home.
