VISITORS:
WELCOME BACK SNOWBIRDS! Good to see you back.
TREASURERS REPORT:
$5066.55 (December report)
OLD
BUSINESS:
Licensing the trailer back to the club: The License Office
stipulates that any licensed vehicle must be insured. However,
NO insurance company will insure a standalone trailer. Further
investigation yielded no new results. The law was rechecked and
verified. We have two options: (1) will a club member accept
ownership of the trailer, and let the club reimburse them for
insurance costs. Or, (2) Store the trailer’s contents in our
storage room and sell the trailer. The members recommended
tabling the issue at this time.
The
contents of the trailer must be inventoried. Dan Clark and Jerry
Heinicke will accomplish that. Can the contents of the trailer
be insured? Concern was expressed about the risk of loss of the
contents. Dan will make an inquiry as to whether the contents
would be covered under our current policy.
The
Florida Woodcarvers Roundup will be held Wednesday, March 24-27
in Zephyrhills. Larry Nowell has agreed to hold a two day class
on carving wood spirits. He will be teaching the Tyrolean
Woodcarving methods he learned in Austria. Class is tentatively
scheduled for March 29, 30. Cost is $50. Make your reservation
now. See Lu Myers
Lakeland
Public Library display: Jerry Heinicke is coordinating the open
event. Bring your carvings to Jerry now for the display.
Carvings should be no taller than 8". The setup will be February
1.

Barbara Oar passed away in September. Ross Oar is reported to be
one of the instructors at the Florida Woodcarving Roundup this
year. Ross and Barbara had been vendors at our show for many
years.

Meetings. Thank you Mary Jane for coordinating this, and thank

passed out, and members were asked to display them at public
places. The applications are forth coming.
A
volunteer list was passed around to request help in various
aspects of the show. Thank you all for helping. Jerry Heinicke
moved we purchase banners advertising the show. Motion passed.
Brian Waistell moved we create a banner for a "Featured Artist"
at the show, and donate $50 to the Featured Artist in
appreciation of their effort to help our event. Motion passed.
Members recommended that an Admission Price be listed on the
flyers. Future flyers will contain that info. Existing flyers
will be updated by the members.
A
request was made to lower the cost of entry to the show to $3.
Questions arose over the show’s cash flow and profitability. The
members recommended that a budget be developed to determine
whether the admission charge could be lowered, and that the Show
Committee determines what the price should be. Approximately 21
members felt it should stay at $4, and 14 preferred $3. No votes
for $5, 2 or 1.
Janet
Miault showed wood cutouts she would like to introduce a
children’s carving event at the show. Children would use
sandpaper attached to a bow to form the cutouts, and paint the
carving. 4 members volunteered to cut out at least 10 pieces.
Janet explained that this activity is very popular at her show
in Ontario. Volunteers will be asked to assist Janet in the
class.

Ridge Woodcarvers Club
Business Meeting March 2, 2010
www.ridgewoodcarversclub.org
The meeting was called to order at 6:30 by
President Dan Clark. Two members of the board were
present, Dan Clark and Norma-Jean Stevens.
27 members were in attendance and one visitor
and new member Dick Hall.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Janet Miault stated that
she was still helping anyone who was interested in bark
carving on Tuesdays during our regular carving sessions and
that she still had bark available for sale for anyone who
wanted some. Jack Smith announced that he will be
starting another wood burning class in April at the Tuesday
carving sessions all who are interested should get with Jack
regarding tools and/or materials they will need. Don't
forget that Larry Nowell will be teaching Spirit carving on
March 29th & 30th. He still has some openings and the cost
is $50.00. More information is available on our Web
page. The class will meet at Jim Hameris' business on
Wallace Road. Jim offered this location in exchange
for free tuition to the class. It was motioned and
passed that our club pay for Jim's tuition for the use of
his facilities.
A reminder of the Florida Roundup at
Zephyrhills for March 24th through 27th was announced.
This is a great opportunity for our area because this event
is so close to us this year. The agenda promises to
have classes that should appeal to a number of
carvers.
Dan asked if anyone would be interested in
having an Artist come in to teach members of our club.
Jerry Heinicke offered to teach a class if anyone was
interested. He will get back to us at a later date
when he can work it into his schedule. Several people have
already indicated that they would like such a class.
Jerry Heinicke, Harley Haubensticker and Jack Buie were
given a BIG thank you for the Library display.
Interest in the display has been very positive.
A reminder to all members to pay their dues
was tendered and discussion about the club's trailer was
tabled to the April meeting.
SHOW BUSINESS: A list of volunteer jobs that
still need to be filled for the show was passed around.
We still need a person to write the article for Chit Chats
that has been done by Lu Myers in the past. Anyone
interested in taking on this project please contact Dan
Clark. Jerry Heinicke stated that we already have
registration for 30 tables from vendors. This appears
to be the largest number ever requested to our knowledge.
He also said we have requests for 28 display tables.
Anyone interested in having a straight table should notify
him, otherwise 60" round tables will be provided. A
motion was made and approved to rent any additional straight
tables that will be necessary for display and the judging
competition over and above what is available at the Church.
Posters for the show were provided by Dan
Clark for members to take and put up. The cost to the
club was $22.00 for a hundred. A friend of Dan's
donated the art work for the posters. They should be
very effective in promoting the event. Please try to
pre register your projects for judging as this will help
Jerry and Mildred in having things ready on the morning of
the show. However, entries for judging will still be
accepted the morning of the show.
Jack Smith presented the club with a door
prize from David and Sally Nye from Michigan who donated his
speciality of an exquisite Fan Bird. Jack donated one
of his wood burnings, a matted bird and it was announced
that Chipping Away has donated two $25.00 gift certificates
for door prizes. This is only a sampling of the
donations that have been made to make the show interesting.
CHILDREN'S MUSEUM FESTIVAL: Is scheduled for
April 17th at Munn Park in Lakeland which is across from
Harry's restaurant and they expect 1000 to 3000 young people
to attend this event. Dan says that they are very
excited about our participation this year. We will
need to have about 200 pieces available at our booth.
Volunteers are still needed to help with this project.
NEW BUSINESS: There was a discussion on
the renewal of our membership in the Polk Art's Alliance for
next year and it was motioned and passed not to renew our
membership because the main reason for membership was a Web
page on their site and our show being mentioned in the
Artifacts Magazine they produce. We have been left out
of the magazine for the last two years.
The Club had in its possession a picture of a
Leopard that was donated by June Petrie before her passing
and a blind auction was held last year at the show in Bartow
with a minimum bid of $50.00. We did not get a bid to
meet the minimum at the show. We have a member who
appreciates the art of June and is willing to buy the
picture. It was moved and passed to let Janet Miault
purchase the picture for that amount. Janet also gave
some judging and displaying tips that she had gathered from
a carving judge.
Jean Crittenden displayed the cane blocks
that were handed in to her and also the eagle head carved by
Larry Nowell for the head and the base that was carved by
Tom Wagner. Tom will be putting the cane together for
the show.
SHOW AND TELL: We were treated to the
carvings by Joe Misiuk, Jack Buie and Tom Wagner and a
display of what can be done with a wood spoon by Janet
Miault, Diane Giddings, Brian McGregor and Marcia Conklin.
Meeting was adjourned and treats provided by
Duane & Georgia Bickmire and Dianne Giddings were enjoyed by
all.

Ridge woodcarvers club
Lakeland, FL
Business Meeting April 6, 2010
www.ridgewoodcarversclub.org
The meeting was called to order at 6:30PM by
President Dan Clark. Three members of the board were
present, Dan Clark Lu Myers, Vice President and Norma-Jean
Stevens, Secretary.
29 members were in attendance. There were
no visitors present.
No Treasurer's report was given because John
Bulmer was not in attendance.
OLD BUSINESS: Dan gave a report on how
much it was going to cost to insure the Show Trailer, discussion
followed and it was determined that the contents of the trailer
could be stored in our room at the MacArthur Center and that the
trailer should be sold. The Show committee will look into
what the estimated worth of the trailer is and it will be
discussed further at next months meeting. We possibly have
two people in our club that may be interested in buying it.
Janet Miault gave a report on the upcoming
Children's Museum Festival to be held in Munn Park on April
17th.
Our club is having a hands on tent during the
festival. Janet is planning on having soap carving for the
children and passed around a sheet for volunteers to help her
during the event. She also suggested that it would be nice
for anyone who would like to come and carve during the event to
give the kids an idea of what can be accomplished with a knife
and a piece of wood.
Jack Smith announced that he would be having a
woodburning class starting at 2:00PM on April 13th and also on
April 20th if wanted.
NEW BUSINESS: Under the bylaws of the club
the board can appoint a Member at Large, the board asked Jerry
Heinicke if he would join the board and he accepted.
SHOW BUSINESS: All said that they had heard lots
of compliments, it was acknowledged that the Church was a very
good place to hold the show. Dan thanked everyone for
their contributions to the show and all the help that make it a
success. It was also noted that the Boy Scouts from the Church
did an exceptional job at providing the refreshments and food
for the show. Jerry stated that they had not made as much as
they had hoped and a suggestion was made that our club make a
donation to their group.
The rest of the meeting was devoted to
critiquing the Carving Show. Many of the things that the
members thought could have gone better boiled down to the same
solution and that was there should have been two to six more
tables for displaying the competition pieces for better display.
Jerry stated that this could be done because the scale he was
given was inaccurate for his layout.
1. Tag system was disorganized, category signs
should have been on the tables at setup
2. Possible limit on size of entries.
3. More space needed inside ropes around
displays.
4. Limit number of entries per person.
5. Ribbons should have been on entries
earlier.
6. Items that do not stand up should be required
to have stands.
Other suggestions were that the members get to
the building at least a half hour before the late registration
time to get set up and ready to go. Also, to try to set
the registration up out of the way of the members and/or vendors
bringing in their items to be set up on show day this could also
be accomplished by the members getting into the building
earlier.
We need to be sure we have a wood vendor next
year. More security against shoplifters. Outside sponsors for
door prizes. We should have a board to post the door prize
numbers on for those who are out of microphone range when the
number is called instead of just calling numbers until a winner
is found. We also should have someone who is in charge of the
Peoples Choice award to carry the process through from beginning
to end.
Members who attend other carving shows in the
area could deliver our flyers to be available for those
interested. Tickets need to be more organized so that we
can get a more accurate count of those attending and that we
don't miss charging for spouses of the outside entrants who
apparently got in free this year. The Show Committee will
consider all the suggestions and report back to the members at a
future meeting.
Tom Wagner reported that they had taken in
$223.00 in the raffle for the cane and the winner David who is
the house parent for the home where Jerry Heinicke's son lives
was to receive the cane this coming weekend and Jerry reported
that the residents of the home were very excited about the fact
that it was to be kept and displayed at their home.
Jean Crittenden was asked to take charge of the
Friendship cane for another year and Jack Smith and Jerry
Heinicke volunteered to make up the blocks for carving.
Tom Wagner will be putting the cane together again.
SHOW AND TELL: Joe Misiuk showed a bird he
had carved and painted and Ed Gustavel showed a prototype of a
carving/woodburning stand that he is working on.
The meeting was adjourned by Dan at 7:45PM and
refreshments were provided by Lavonia Hutto.
Next meeting will be at the MacArthur Center on
May 4th, 2010 at 6:30

and seconded to give them $50.00. Motion carried.
CHILDREN'S MUSEUM FESTIVAL: Jack Smith reported on
the success of the day in the park. He recommended that we do
it again next year and suggests that we really need more help,

big thank you to Janet Miault, Diane Giddings, Jack Smith, Jerry
and Mildred Heinicke, Dan Clark and Ron Roberts for helping out
with this project.

No business meeting was held in the month of December.
Instead, the Carving Club had a fun time at a pot luck dinner.
Ham and turkey was provided by the Club and attendees brought
appetizers, salads, side dishes and deserts. Attendees
also brought a new toy for donation to the Salvation Army
Christmas angel tree project. The room was festive with
red and green decorations and the conversation was warm and
cheerful. A wonderful time was had by all who attended. |
