March - San Diego Woodturners

Empty Bowls
Each year potters, glass blowers and woodturners donate bowls to be part of a wonderful fundraiser to feed the
hungry. We are all fortunate to have enough to eat every day and we sometimes forget that there are people in
our own city who go hungry.
TACO (Third Avenue Charitable Organization) is a local organization running the San Diego version of the
national Empty Bowl initiative. At the event (in the spring) supporters pay $20 for a bowl of their choice and
some soup. The soup is donated by a number of really great restaurants. (The bowls don’t have to be used to
eat the soup).
In 2012, 600 people attended and many bought more than one bowl. The event raised over $15,000 to help
feed those in need.
I would like to collect bowls all year so that we have a nice selection to donate. Please bring your donations
to any meeting and I will keep them safe until it is time to pass them on for the event.
Thanks for your generosity.

NEWS FROM THE DVD LIBRARY
Please return your DVD’s so other members can check them out and enjoy them as much as you did. Look for
Mike Hosaluk’s DVD in the next couple months along with Jimmy Clewes Turn It Up.
Please remember as a member of the club you can check out 3 DVDs each month. Return them at the next
meeting and owe nothing, it’s a club perk! But….. if they are not returned the charge is $5.00 per month per
DVD. If you have any questions or comments please let us know. If you have suggestions on other DVDs
for the library we’d like to hear that too. Thank you for your support!
How to clean your DVD
Use a soft cloth ~ lint free ~(an old clean T-shirt works great)
Put a little water on the cloth
Wipe the disc from the center to the outside edge ~
DO NOT WIPE IN A CIRCULAR MOTION!
If the water does not solve the problem put some Isopropyl (rubbing) Alcohol on the cloth and wipe from the
center to the outside edge. Again, do not wipe in a circular motion.
