BAWA Apparel. Hey! Be the first one in your block to be decked out in the latest BAWA finery. Wear the finery to the meetings, to the wood shows or just show your envious woodworker friends. Jay Perrine is the source of BAWA baseball caps ($10), and BAWA work shirts ($35 or so). You can contact him at jperrine@calwater.com or 408/378-1585.

Woodcraft. Dublin & San Carlos give the club a rebate on all purchases. Give receipts to Mark Rand.

Open Shop. Volunteer to open your shop to members. Contact Bruce Bell at bell422@earthlink.net or 415/681-8353.

December is holiday time so what else but a dessert party. Contact Carol Jean Reiser at caroljean1@earthlink.net or 408 295-4087 and tell her what you will bring. Bring enough for 4 to 6 people. In addition Bill Henzel will talk about his experiences in Kyrgystan helping build housing. Stan Booker will talk about his experiences bringing hand tools to Africa to schools and work shops that in many cases have nothing. I am sure there will be plenty more that he will talk about. Then, you members will bring your very favorite tool and tell us why it is your favorite. Note: There will not be room for more than 6 Unisaws. All the festivities will start at 6:30 PM in the Sunset Room, Veterans Memorial Senior Center 1455 Madison Ave. Redwood City.

Your membership expires on 12/31 so bring $30 for an individual or $35 for a family membership. For all those that renewed last month and by mail, thank you.
