SAWS September 2015 Meeting

The SAWS September meeting will be held on Wednesday September 16 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at SOUTHCENTRE MALL in Centre Court in conjunction with our 2015 Exhibition and Sale.  This will be an opportunity for members to quiz makers on "how did you do that?"   Also jury members Donna White, Doug Haslam (and maybe Bryce Ohneck) will be present to provide commentary on design considerations.  Photographs are nice but having the pieces to view with your own eyes is best.
