18 January 2025 Meeting

Our woodturners have been busy! 

First on 7 December, a cold, starry night, the Woodturning Co-Op collaborated with the Chesapeake Woodturners at Maryland Hall for a benefit charity fundraiser. The charity, Bernie’s House, was the recipient of over $4,100.  Patricia Slaughter gladly accepted the donation. The funds will go toward ensuring abused families receive a fresh start and a safe place to raise their children free from abusers. The fundraiser was attended by concert goers who enjoyed the holiday tunes by the Encore Singers. The next sale will be 11 December at the Annapolis Yacht Club. Stay tuned!

This event follows a fundraiser last May in support of the Light House Shelter, a local charity that helps families in crisis.  Both events were organized by Jim Brooks, a member of the Woodturning Co-Op.  That fundraiser raised $8,600 over two days for the Light House.  Jim is currently working with Maryland Hall for the next event in the Spring.
