I'd like to share the plans for our upcoming Indiana chapter meeting on Saturday, May 10th at 9:30.

Please RSVP to David Bowes by Wednesday, May 7th.

Logistics:

- Our meeting will be hosted at Woodcraft of Indianapolis (7330 East 86th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46256)
- Woodcraft has offered a 10% discount for any purchases (exclusions apply) on the day of the meeting. Please show your appreciation for their hosting our meeting by taking advantage.
- Chairs provided - No need to bring your own.
- The “Show and Tell” is an ice breaker. Please bring anything you would like to show off. If you have a special piece, a project, or even a jig, please bring them. For those who haven’t attended a previous meeting, this is a quick introduction, a display of your skills, interests, projects both past and present, jig, etc. Unless you want to bring something different, this meeting’s show and tell theme will be veneer & marquetry.
- Lunch will be sandwiches & chips from Jimmy John’s. Please bring $10-15 in cash.
