A buddy of mine who attended the recent AAW symposium picked up our club's 2nd place award for best website. I gotta tell you that I was blow away with this award...thanks AAW, and to Joe Ruminski, who made the award platter.

BTW, here's a link to Joe's very entertaining website: http://www.greenriverwoodworking.com/

Hi Ed. I agree the award platters which Joe Ruminski makes are simply outstanding. I received my second one this year and they are both very nice indeed.

Congratulations again to you and the other 3 webmasters for creating and maintaining such great chapter websites. I say "3" webmasters because the OVWG has 2 co-webmasters. It was a pleasure announcing your awards at the symposium banquet since your websites are helping foster woodturning to a higher level.
