KEVIN’S COLUMN
HELLO GOOD FRIENDS OF THE
PITTPOUNDERS;
BEFORE I
START, I WANT TO REMEMBER OUR FRIENDS WHO ARE SICK IN THE HOSPITAL, PLEASE KEEP
THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS.
ONCE AGAIN,
I WANT TO THANK RON AND BRENDA PARSONS, TOM,
AND DRAPER, FOR GIVING OF THEIR
TIME AT TANDY LEATHER ON MARCH 16 AND 17 . EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME, AND I
KNOW DEBBIE WAS HAPPY TO HAVE US.
WE HAD A
NICE GROUP SHOW UP AT THE APRIL MEETING. DAVE BRIGGS BROUGHT TWO FRIENDS OF
HIS, BOB THE QUIET ONE, AND JOE WHO HAS BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS AL STOHLMAN. I
THINK DAVE SAID JOE HAS BEEN DOING LEATHER WORK FOR 50 YEARS.
WE TALKED
ABOUT MAKING A BELT, CUTTING THE TIP, (THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT SHAPES OF
TIPS TO CHOOSE FROM). ALWAYS START YOUR DESIGN FROM THE TIP, AND FLOW TOWARD
THE BUCKLE END.
FOR THE MAY
MEETING, EVERY ONE SHOULD HAVE HAD THEIR BELTS TOOLED, SO WE CAN START DYING THE BELTS.
THEN IN JUNE, WE CAN FINISH THE BELTS WITH YOUR FAVORITE LEATHER FINISH.
JOYCE WEDGE
HAS ASK ME IF ANYONE WANTS TO TAKE OVER THE TREASURER
POSITION. IF SO, PLEASE SEE HER AT THE NEXT MEETING.
ALSO AT THE
MAY MEETING, WE HAVE
TO DECIDE IF WE WANT TO DROP THE
MEETINGS FOR THE MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST AND RESUME MEETINGS IN
SEPTEMBER. ATTENDANCE ALWAYS FALLS OFF
IN THE SUMMER, WITH
PEOPLE TRAVELING, AND DOING SUMMER THINGS.
GOD BLESS, KEVIN
