CJWA picnic picture gallery

The CJWA summer picnic, held at Bill Woodard’s home, was a big success as always. There was plenty of food and camaraderie to spare. More pictures of the picnic can be found at the gallery section of our website.

This Old House comes to New Jersey

 

The upcoming season of This Old House focuses on rebuilding homes that were damaged by Hurricane Sandy. This should be of interest to many New Jerseyans, not just woodworkers. Episodes are scheduled to start airing October 3 on your local PBS station. More information is available at the This Old House website.

September CJWA meeting: What I did last summer

With the passing of Labor Day, the sad news is that another summer has gone by. The good news is that CJWA will be starting up our monthly meetings again after the summer break. The September CJWA meeting will be at 7:00 on Wednesday, Sept. 11. We will have presentations from Robert Hemsen on a Queen Anne tea table that he made, Paul Hahn on building a cradle, and the Bible Box group build project. Hope to see you there, as we gear up for the woodworking busy season.

CJWA Family Picnic, Saturday, August 10

The CJWA Summer Family Picnic will be held at Bill and Becky Woodard’s home at 13 Roberts Road, Millstone Township, on August 10 from 1-6PM. You and your family (husbands, wives, significant others, kids and grandkids) are all invited. In case of rain, the picnic will be held on the following Saturday, August 17.

The club will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, soda, paper goods and cups, as we have done in the past. If everyone attending would please bring a dish or desert similar to what is done at our Holiday party, no one will leave hungry. Adult beverages are also welcome unless you want shop time. The “Grill Master” this year will be Jerry Fishlin, so the hamburgers promise to be cooked perfectly. Please let us know how many are in your group and what you are planning to bring, so that we can plan for a full assortment of food.

We have a pond for the kids to drown some worms (they might even catch some sunnies) and horse shoes for those who would like to try their skills. We live in the country on seven acres so there will be plenty of parking on the property. We have a number of chairs, but extra lawn furniture would be helpful. The house is in the woods and shaded so the sun should not be a challenge, but it has been a wet year so bring your insect repellent just in case. 

Please E-mail your RSVP to wwood21500@aol.com or call 732-446-9782 or 908-618-7354.  We are looking forward to seeing one and all.

CJWA Member Exhibition

The CJWA Members Exhibition was a great success, with many projects, large and small, being shown by CJWA members.

Doyle Ephraim and Danny Birnbaum were the lucky winners of gift certificates to Monteath Lumber in the raffle for members who exhibited a piece that they made.

John Tomaniano was the winner of the napkin holder contest for his combination napkin holder and salt shaker and pepper grinder set. He also received a Monteath Lumber gift certificate.

 

Thanks to all the CJWA members who brought a project to display. More photos from the exhibition can be seen in the members gallery area.
