Meeting Information
The regular meeting of the Villages Woodworkers Club will be on held on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 7:00 PM in the Washington and Jefferson rooms at Laurel Manor. Please bring your 'show and tell' item if you have completed something you are proud of and share it with us. We want to know how you did it!!! These items will be displayed for viewing prior to the meeting. We will be taking pictures of the Show and Tell crafts and displaying them in our Gallery on the VWC web site. We strongly support the 'show-and-tell' part of our meeting. If you've made something recently, or even in the past, and would like to share it with us, please bring it. This is what our Club is all about. The minutes from past VWC General and Board meetings can be found on the Club Documents page. Attention!!! I send out an e-mail to all members with an e-mail address the Friday before the meeting. If you are not getting the e-mail, it is either because I have no e-mail address for you or I have an incorrect e-mail address. If you are a member and are not getting the e-mail, please click on the E-Mail Address Correction button below and let me know so I can correct the database. Please add the following entry to your address book so that the VWC emails do not end up in your Deleted file, Junk file or Spam file. The address is woodshopbulletins@embarqmail.com.

| SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS!!! |
| Certification Team Members
Needed
As we approach our busiest time of year, we need to make a special appeal to members who have the interest and skill to become a part of the Instructional Certification Team. With many new members joining the Club, we may have to add additional certification sessions. Several members are carrying a heavy burden of responsibility for helping with the certification of new members and are doing an exceptional job. Many of us have the potential to share in this important process. If you are comfortable with sharing your knowledge with others, and feel that you could assist by being an instructor in the certification program, now is the time to step forward and make this important contribution to the Club. This also represents another way to serve your 12 hour per year obligation to the Club. So, if you have the interest and ability, we call upon you to serve in this role. You may do so by signing up on the special form at the desk at the Woodshop or by letting us know during our meeting on Tuesday, Jan 13th at Laurel Manor. If you have questions please contact Jack Tagye, Paul Greene, or Murry Bishop. Thanks for your thoughtful consideration of this special request ! |
Help Wanted Office Staff The club is in need of permanent Office Staff for the front desk. This is a job that would require 4-8 hours per month of voluntary service. You will receive training before beginning. Many records are kept on the computer, so basic computer knowledge is helpful, especially knowledge of MS Word. (Involvement in office staffing relieves you of the Shop Monitor obligation.)
Office Staff are responsible for the following:

| Pressure Treated Lumber
- Revision
The Board clarified the use of treated lumber allowing any treated lumber that was produced after 2004 (usually known now as Yellawood) to be brought in and utilized in the shop. The one exception to its use is that it may not be sanded using the shop equipment or sanded inside the building. All other operations are permissible. Green treated lumber (treated lumber produced prior to 2005) is not permitted for any purpose as it contains arsenic compounds. |

| How to Recognize a
STROKE
Recognizing a Stroke A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke . Remember The first three letters .... S.T.R. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE. NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately, and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. Researchers are urging the general public to learn to ask these three questions quickly, to someone they suspect of having a stroke. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of a stroke, and prevent permanent brain damage. |
