 William Rush Quill January 2018

This Month’s Meeting is the 15th 7:30 pm at Penn State

We will be continuing to discuss planning for our show and what carving classes or projects we would

like to do this year. We have access to some great teachers; we just need to find out interest!

We have been offered a table at the Del Val and the Lancaster show. If we want to have a table we need

volunteers to man the tables.

Show questions:

1. The show committee is looking for suggestions on how to improve attendance to the show. The

objective is to get 300 to 500 more people attending show to cover increased show expenses.

2. The Raffle committee is looking for suggestions on how we can improve on raffle sales. The objective

is to improve raffle ticket sales by $500

3. The show committee is looking for suggestions for exhibitor diversity with the intention of improving

customer attendance. Examples: do we add more art & craft exhibitors? Wood working tools? wild life

painters? All non traditional exhibitors would be approved by the show committee. Lets us know your

suggestions and feeling about this question.

4. How do we get more club members involved / club officers / volunteers in the show and other club

functions?

Please email or send your suggestions to a Show committee member or club officer

Reminder, dues are due for this year!
