special event:
A contest was announced in late 2006 to be judged at the February 2007 meeting. The object of the contest was to create something that would generally be considered a toy. The contest was judged by vote of all members present.
The contest was organized by Vic Barr and Nathan Sincox who did a great job of setting the rules and encouraging members to participate.
The prize was free tuition for the Frank Klausz Workshop to be held in March. The winner was Walter Henderson.
