County Fair
It is not too late to talk with Ron Clements about the Howard County Md County Fair – Woodworkers Show. Guild members can drop off their items for judging. There are prizes. Click HERE to visit our County Fair information page to learn more.
Marketplace
Fred Schock announced his workshop downsizing last Friday. His items are going fast. See his ad page for information and a link to his photo album showing items and pricing. Hurry, the goodies are going fast.
Still Lost and Needs to be Found!
The Guild’s Logo Wooden Plaque has been lost for many months now. It is probably sitting in someone’s garage, and the caretaker is not aware the Guild feels it’s loss. Take a look around in your garage. If you have the Plaque, please contact us, or bring it to the next meeting.
Picnic on 2 August
We still need volunteers for the Guild Picnic. On the information page, you can learn more about the plan, or get directions to Rick’s House.

where is the list of membership names; addresses; and, email addresses?
Hi Don and thanks for your question. There are several ways to find it on our web site. You have to be logged in with your Guild web site account username and password.
1. Use the menu at the top right corner. It is a clickable element under where the “Welcome” greeting you by name is located. Click it to display the menu. Scan down the left margin for Members Only. Then in the indented section below, click on Who’s Who.
2. Return to the home page by clicking on the spelled out Guild name in red letters at the top of the web page. Then scroll down to see the two column section. The left side is Site Map. Look down near the bottom and click Who’s Who.
Remember the listing only shows member info for those with an account on the web site.
In a few weeks I should have all of the member info in the Who’s Who even if they don’t have a web site account. If you need a listing before that, or want contact info for someone in the Guild just ask.
