     On tap for our next January 8, 2020 meeting, we are proud to have Mike Zaslav, our club founder, visit us and speak about how the club got started.  He will share his experience and work with Master Woodworker James Krenov at the College of the Redwoods in California.  There are many new members to the club that have not yet met Mike, and this will be your opportunity.  Even if you have not been active in a while, why not come out for a reunion as a guest!
