We are still deciding on a place for our carving show banquet. We are considering a Chinese restaurant. Neil asked for a show of hands of members who did not like oriental food. One member raised his hand. There will be a special meeting of the Committee to discuss this subject. Notices will be sent out.
Old Business:
Debbe Edwards asked what rough out the group wants to work on at her seminar. The rabbit was decided upon. This seminar will begin the Monday after our show. Debbe would like to get in 15 hours of carving. When we begin on Monday, November 30 at 6 p.m. we can decide as a group about the times. The reason for this is that Debbe would like to have each carver finish their carving.
