One of the biggest events on the annual SPSW calendar is our annual holiday dinner. This is a potluck event and the food is always great. Each year we purchase gift certificates or high-quality turning tools from the many vendors that support all of us through the year. We also will be buying about 70 excellent bowl blanks and other wood. All of this will be given away to members attending this event. Our goal is for each active member attending the dinner to go home with at least a piece of wood to turn.
