Due to a power outage at the Allmendinger Center in December, it was necessary to cancel our Holiday Party. We would like to invite you to our newly scheduled Holiday Party, “Turning Resolutions in 2026”.
Date: January 8, 2026 Time: 6pm*
Place: Allmendinger Center in Puyallup
What to expect:
Potluck food assignments by last name
- A—I: Main Dish
- J—P: Salad/Side Dish
- Q—Z: Dessert
Gift Exchange: Does not have to be a turned piece, but exchanging wood turned items is okay. No gag gifts, please. (“My favorite wood turned piece in my home isn’t something I turned.” ~Pat McCart)
General Raffle Tickets given 1 per membership
Help tin ticket raffle for prizes. If you have not filled out your ticket for helping this year, please make sure you get your name in the tin.
Pick up your 2026 meeting schedule.
Bring your BEST TURNED Piece for 2025 to show. All Skill levels encouraged to bring your best work this year. Item must be started and completed in 2025.
If you are brand new to turning or are a first year member with the SPSW, we encourage you to come and participate, let me know who you are because we have something just for you.
*We would never turn away a helping hand on the 8th. We can always use some help to set up the facility to greet our guests. We need help moving around tables and chairs before (@5pm) and after. Taking out the trash is a biggie at the end of the night. We will also be setting up tables for the raffle and helping hands drawing and a special table for our 2025 President’s Challenge Winner Display.
p.s. This does not replace the regularly scheduled January meeting/demonstration. Stay tuned for the January Newsletter for more details on that.
