Meeting Update: Tool Show-and-Tell
We’re switching things up for our general meeting on Saturday, August 23rd. We will meet from 11 am to 1 pm, then take some time to learn from each other.
Instead of a formal demonstration, we’ll be having a casual show-and-tell session. This is your chance to share your experiences with the group. We encourage you to bring two tools:
- One tool you absolutely love and couldn’t live without.
- One tool you regret purchasing and wish you’d never bought.
This is a great opportunity to learn from each other’s successes and mistakes, helping everyone make smarter choices in the future.
We will still have time for our traditional “show and tell” during the meeting, where you can share a finished piece or two you’ve made.
The meeting will be at the Butler Building, located behind the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium at 323 Manono St., Hilo, HI 96720. A map is pictured below for your convenience.
Feel free to bring your own chair and a non-alcoholic beverage. All our meetings are free and open to the public, so please invite anyone who might be interested.
See you at the Butler Building!
