First of all, after many months of negotiations with the Y.M.C.A. we have agreed on a lease for an additional room for our shop, plus and additional two-year leas,. The te~ of the lease are an additional rental fee of $250.00 per month, of whi~h $175.00 of this amount will be paid by the Society in cash and the balance will be'paid in labor at $10.00 per hour and 7.5 hours for the Y. At our January Board meeting, Jim Bishop proposed to the Board that we purchase Faceting machines and teach Faceting at our shop. After much discussion the Board voted unanimously to recommend to the members at the General meeting that we follow through with Jim's proposal. At the General meeting the members voted to purchase four Faceting machines and to start classes. When I becoma President of our Society I stated that my goal was to emphasize education and learning in our Society this year. I had'in mind classes in special cab cutting, square wire jewelry, plating, carving, cloisonne, etc. but to offer classes in faceting was beyond my wildest dreams. With the addition of faceting, I believe we will have one of the most complete shops we could ever hope for. The '82 Show is just around the corner and the Show Committee needs the help of each and everyone to make this a most successful show. Why not give a Committee Chairperson a call today and offer your help? There is a job for each one of you. Some members do not get to the shop or the General Meetings for various reasons and therefore do not get to know each other very well. I believe there is no better way than volunteering a bit of your time to get to meet your fellow members. Arnold Board of Directors Meeting officers will be listed in the January 11, 1982 Petrograph.
