Fun meeting last night, our guest speaker was a representative from the Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue. Nicole spoke about the how Soper Creek started and its current mission in the Durham Region, a very worthy cause. Calvin has set up a group to help Soper Creek with their “wish” list and Don McFarland donated a squirrel box, which will be used for nesting of the animals. If you’d like to volunteer with Calvin’s group, please contact Calvin directly.
Next week, we have a meeting scheduled on Remembrance Day, we have a guest speaker from “Branches to Bowls”. They are a distributor of Vic Mar lathes as well as, Carter turning tool, it should be a great evening.
