TouchUps
Jim. Thank you for the great intro. I have some big shoes to fill before ever coming close to what you do with all the Guild's means of communicating with our members. As I get familar with the systems I certainly will need your assistance from time to time.
Saying thank you seems so inappropriate! The Guild is so lucky to have you, your talent and didication over all these years.
Thank you!

Hands-On CAD
with Bruce Wedlock
The
GoToMeeting
live classroom
Hands-On CAD
,
teaching the essentials of 3D modeling for woodworkers, will begin on Friday, May 15 at 9:00 am. Everyone is invited to watch this first class which will start with a demo of drawing Tom McLaughlin’s
Shaker End Table
. Students will download a free demo version of the software
Argon
to enable them to execute exercises during class as well as homework. Sessions will be recorded so they can be reviewed at one’s convenience. Members are also welcomed to just watch the class without the software.
We plan to hold two classes a week at 9:00 am on Mondays and Fridays. If you wish to participate or just attend the meetings, send Bruce Wedlock an email at
wedlock@alum.mit.edu
indicating your preference, and you will get the meeting link via email. If you wish to participate in the class, you will also receive the software download instructions. You will need either at PC or Mac (not Catalina at the moment) to run this software, and a trackball mouse is strongly recommended.

Member Forum—Take Advantage
The
member forum is a good way to network with other Guild members during this shut down. You do not need a forum account to view what is up there. But by creating an account of your own, you can participate in the discussion, create a topic, ask questions, and best of all receive an email anytime a new post is created.
Please refrain from posting copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you. A quote or perhaps a few sentences if attributed from copyrighted material is OK. But please use caution as this is a public forum.

Welcome to each new member who joined the Guild last month. Please make these members welcome should you see them at your next meeting.
Check out the
member directory (login required). Car pooling to a meeting is a great idea.
Current membership count = 604

New Videos Added to Our Library
Guild library videos are a long standing tradition with the Guild. What began as a lending library documenting many Guild demonstrations and lectures at general meetings, subgroup meetings and symposia presentations, was eventually converted from VHS tapes to DVD format and later
available on our website.
We have several new videos from our recent foray into video conferencing.
More will be added as they are developed in the coming weeks.

Membership Cards
Membership card lists are generated quarterly for new or renewed memberships from the previous quarter. Batch dates are...
- January 1
- April 1
- July 1
- October 1
You can expect delivery approximately two weeks after your batch date. Cards are personalized and sent directly to you from our supplier in MN.
Renew early! However, when you do renew your membership, an email is sent which acts as your temporary certificate of membership until your card arrives.
Cards are used for member discounts at participating suppliers.

Where is my Membership Card?
Those of you who
joined the Guild or renewed your membership in the first quarter
of the year have not received your membership cards. There has been a lot of confusion with our supplier in MN (i.e. new people in new jobs) and the cards did not get produced or mailed until Monday, May 18—more than a 1-1/2 months after the batch list was submitted. Normal turnaround is about 2 weeks. This one took quite a few emails to get it done.
So if you joined or renewed your membership in the first quarter of this year, your card should arrive within the next week.
