Here are a few photos of our members and the set-up we had for that day.

With all considered, we checked it off as a successful day. Weather was great, parking was plentiful, and the folks from Windsor treated us Royally.

(JDRF - Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

The Kamloops Wood Workers Guild were asked if we would like to participate in the Meet-A-Machine Day at the KIB Dance Arbour.

We said, "Sure we will."

And now the rest is history; we spent a whole day there and had demonstrations folks showing some of the things we do - Lathe work, Scroll Saw work, Toy Making, etc.,

 

We even had two of our members donate to the JDRF's Raffle draw; Russ Cahoon donated a hand-made motorcycle 1/4 scale, and Jerry Gauthier donated a 100-year old wood framed mirror.

Both were gratefully accepted by Jim Moorehouse of the JDRF.
