<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Woodturners</strong> Page 6 <strong>March</strong> 2013<br />
Hello SDWT Members,<br />
While researching the size ranking<br />
of our AAW Chapter (in<br />
2012, we were the 9th largest<br />
out of 300), I also found that the<br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Woodturners</strong>, Inc.<br />
was the 8th Chapter inducted<br />
in the American Association of<br />
<strong>Woodturners</strong>. We were so early<br />
that we own the rights to use<br />
the name “<strong>Woodturners</strong>” in our<br />
chapter name. Any California<br />
chapter that wants to include<br />
“<strong>Woodturners</strong>” in their name<br />
needs permission from us – and<br />
that means just about all of<br />
them!<br />
If you want to:<br />
- join the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Woodturners</strong><br />
- renew AAW and/or SDWT<br />
membership<br />
- check your member number<br />
or renewal date<br />
- add your photo to the<br />
SDWT Membership Directory<br />
- obtain a new 2013 Membership<br />
Card for local merchant<br />
discounts<br />
- order a Membership Badge<br />
(wear your badge and receive 1<br />
extra raffle ticket!)<br />
- have an idea for our club …<br />
… please see the instructions at<br />
the end of the newsletter, just<br />
before the membership application,<br />
or contact me at Leonard-<br />
Badour@roadrunner.com.<br />
Thanks to everyone who renewed<br />
on time. It makes my<br />
job easier. Nearly all of the<br />
long time (pre-2011) members<br />
renewed by year’s end; newer<br />
members have a renewal anniversary<br />
date, the date they<br />
joined AAW and SDWT. About<br />
two months before the AAW<br />
membership expires, your AAW<br />
Journal will have a colored notice<br />
attached.<br />
Also, each AAW Journal Label<br />
shows your member number and<br />
renewal date with each issue.<br />
Your SDWT membership renewal<br />
date is the same as your<br />
AAW renewal date, no matter<br />
when you joined SDWT. When<br />
you receive an AAW Journal<br />
with a renewal notice, it’s also<br />
time to also renew your SDWT<br />
membership. (For insurance<br />
purposes, SDWT members must<br />
also be AAW members.)<br />
As of <strong>March</strong> 2011, all new memberships<br />
were converted from<br />
the older calendar basis to anniversary<br />
basis. If you have any<br />
questions about your membership<br />
renewal, please call AAW at<br />
(651) 484-9094.<br />
(For further membership instructions,<br />
see the instructions just<br />
before the membership application<br />
near the end of the newsletter).<br />
Thanks!<br />
