If you won last month’s, Bring Back drawing, you are expected to bring back something for this month’s drawing.
For several years, Alamo Wood Turners has supported fundraising efforts in San Antonio and Kendall County to support those with food insecurities. The fundraisers are known as Empty Bowls San Antonio and Hill Country Empty Bowls. People purchase tickets for about $25 to be able to pick out a bowl and get a bowl of soup. The funds raised in San Antonio go to support SAMM Ministries. The Hill Country event, held in Boerne, will split its proceeds this year between Hill Country Family Services Food Pantry and the Kendall County Women's Shelter.
Our club typically provides 20 to 40 bowls to each on Empty Bowls events. The bowls for the Hill Country event are due in early February. Chris Buckingham will be collecting bowls at both of the club meetings in January and the pen meeting in February.
Our mission is to promote wood turning from the novice to the advanced turner.
