REMINDER
The information below was posted a couple of weeks ago and we have had several of our membership register their children and grandchildren. We still have room for a few more, so please let me know if you would like your youth to participate!
Donn
What: NCWW Youth Outreach Program
When: September 28
Time: 9:00 a.m. to noon
Where: Klingspor"s Woodworking Shop, 3141 Capital Blvd. Raleigh, NC
Ages: 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
A couple of months ago, we announced plans to begin a series of workshops targeting youth. We received a lot of feedback, all of which was helpful in developing our plans. We recognize that youth audiences present several unique challenges not the least of which are varying skill levels and attention spans. That said, youth also represent an opportunity for NCWW to educated and inspire woodworkers of the future.
With respect to our inaugural workshop, we are limiting the number of participants to 10 and all must be accompanied by an adult. We are continuing to develop projects for the program, but these projects will more than likely include the use of the band-saw, scroll-saw, lathe, sanders and/or drill press. If you have interest in enrolling your youngster in this program, please let me know by responding to this thread. The first 10 will be assured a spot, those not included in the first 10 will be on the waiting list and will be contacted should anyone cancel.
We expect our youth participants to learn a lot, as well as have fun! Moreover, those of us conducting the program will also learn from the experience, which will benefit subsequent programs. If you would like to assist with this outreach effort, please let me know.
