January,2010 we are a SAW local chapter

The next meeting of the NorthEast

Oklahoma Scrollers will be at 7

PM, January 7th in Jim Stotts

shop. See the enclosed map if you

need directions.

The December meeting was held

Dec 3rd and we had our annual

Christmas party. We had 18

members and guests present and

more than enough food for

everyone to go home full.

For show and tell Ken Rankin

brought a puzzle box he made

from cherry. He stated that he

made a total of six that come

Christmas he will place presents in

for their children. He also

mentioned that their kids got a

bigger kick out of seeing what dad

made to hold the present than the

present.

Jim Stiek showed off some

experimental earrings he is

working on. They were really neat

and hopefully he will perfect the

technique and we will see a

finished product.

Judy Campbell brought a 3D

“JOY” cut out of oak. Judy made it

for a friend of hers named,

naturally, Joy.

The toys that we made all year

were boxed up and those who were

going to deliver them to different

charities took them.

Be Proud of yourselves!!!! You

made over 1200 toys and between

us and the Branson group Ed John

was able to send 1000 ornaments

to Project Rudolph. Hopefully they

will brighten the day for some GI’s

stationed in the Middle East.

Ed mentioned that it would help

him if, as you finish the

ornaments, you would bring them

to the next meeting.

Also discussed was our upcoming

picnic in April. We have reserved

the shelter at Hunter Park for April

24th. The menu will include

smoked brisket and smoked ham.

Judy and Jim will issue a personal

invite to the Branson club.

The 2010 slate of officers was

announced at the December

meeting and they are:

President Jim Stiek

Secretary Cora Mehm

Treasurer Judy Campbell

Membership Bill Jones

Raffle Jim Stotts

Newsletter Chuck Mehm

We all need give them a large

“thank you” for volunteering to

lead our club. Also, don’t be shy in

saying “I will” when, not if, Jim

asks for your help.

We do need someone to take over

and overhaul our web site.

We do have a new wood store here

in Tulsa, Little Creek Hardwoods.

It is located at 41st & Sheridan just

to the east of the car lot. I was in

there last week and they are fairly

well supplied with wood. I have

included a price list in this

newsletter. Come to the January

meeting and hopefully the owner

will be there to answer your

questions. From the talking Cora

and I did with him he seems

willing to try to work with us.

Also, don’t forget Jim Stotts as a

source of wood. He also will do

custom cutting and panel making

at a competitive price.

Texas Picnic April 17&18

Don’t forget that we will be having

a 2X4 contest at the April picnic.

You take a standard 2X4, 8” long

and build something out of it.

You can saw it, nail it, screw it

paint it, ect, just as long as you

make something. All of you in

Branson consider yourself

challenged, and bring what you

build here to Tulsa. More next

month.

Have a Merry Christmas and a safe

New Year.
