November Virtual Annual Meeting on Zoom

Tuesday, Nov 9th, 7pm

We'll attempt to hold our Annual Meeting over Zoom this year. If you have not been able to or interested in attending remotely, we would appreciate your help for our elections and some changes to our bylaws. You can designate another member as your Proxy vote for elections and bylaw changes. Please log in to download a Proxy Form if you can help us out. Thank you!

Randy Maxey, former editor of Woodsmith Magazine and contributing editor to several other woodworking magazines, will join us from Florida to present a recorded program on Tuning and Using Japanese Hand Planes. He will join us live for a Q&A afterwards.

We could use your help running the DMWA! Tune in for volunteer opportunities, our annual election, and Bylaws proposed changes.

We are not planning to hold any of the General Members Meetings in person until further notice.

The Des Moines Woodworkers Board has cancelled all large-group activities due to COVID-19.

Stay safe at home and get some woodworking done, everyone!
