Next Meeting - May 8, 2008 - 7pm

Come check out our new meeting room! You spoke and we listened. I know it's been hard for people in the northern section of our large county to make the meetings in Bartow. I've been trying to find an acceptable (as in free) meeting place that was centrally located and I think I've done it.

The nice folks at the City of Auburndale Parks and Rec have graciously agreed to sponsor our club. This means we have a new home for our monthly meetings and will be able to use the City's facilities for our annual show.

We will bring the dremel with drill stand, the glass grinder with channel bit and a large sheet of plate glass to this month's meeting. Bring your slabs and cabs for a hand's on experience. Jim will show how to polish flat slabs using window glass. You can try the new diamond bits to drill holes in your pieces or, if they're thick enough, cut a channel around them.

Hope to see you there.

Club Displays

You still have a couple of days to catch the clubs display at the Bartow Library. It's there through April.

We will set up at the Polk County Historical Museum, at the Courthouse in Bartow, during June and July. Club members set up displays there a couple of years ago and received great feed back. If you can contribute items, please contact Jan Liles or Cindy Reed.
