The Midwest
Woodworkers' Association is a
not-for-profit organization
founded in 1983.
- Monthly
Meetings: We
meet once a month at Sawdust
Studios, 3150 Paris Road,
Columbia MO. Meetings are
the 4th Monday at 6:30pm, except
when it conflicts with a holiday
and then an alternate date will
be announced. Meetings
consist of general business,
announcements, Show and Tell, a
presentation and drawing for a
door prize. Presentations
are always on a topic of
interest to woodworkers and are
combined with
demonstrations. Past demos
have included topics such as
sharpening tools, using scroll
saws, lathe turning and swap
meets.
- Library:
We
maintain a library of books,
videos, magazines and plans for
the use of any member. The
library is available at our
monthly meetings.
- Toy
Project: Many
members are involved with making
wooden toys for children in
need. Each year for the
last twenty years, we have
distributed toys to various
organizations including:
Ronald McDonald House, Rainbow
house, Coyote Hill, the
Salvation Army, and various
Churches and Day Care centers in
Columbia, MO.
- Newsletter:
Our newsletter is
sent either by mail or e-mail
and informs members of the
location and content of the next
meeting. There are
interesting articles, hints,
announcements, along with a
recap of the previous meeting or
event.
