"Annual Auction"
Attention SJFWA members. The regular association meeting on July 18th, 2009 at Tulare Western will be the Annual Auction. To properly catalogue auction items Dave Summers needs the auction items delivered to the Tulare Western woodshop on July 6,7 or 8 due to a commitment Dave has at Cal Poly on July 12th-15th. Collection points for auction items are David Dunlaps' Shop in the North & Al Sindlinger in the South. Let's all get behind this major fundraiser for the club and donate valuable items which will bring a good price at auction. The tax exempt # for the club is 77-0046888.
