Nor-Cal Woodturners upcoming events

Nor-Cal Monthly Meeting (April 28, 2026)

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 01:30:00 GMT

Each month on the 4th Tuesday at 6:30 pm we have a monthly meeting (except November and December). We have a demonstration on woodturning, "show and tell" where members share what they have been working on, and a "President's Challenge" where members make something special each month. There is also plenty of good company.

No need to sign up, just come to the Veterans Hall. Bring something you've turned to share with the group. You can also bring items to donate to the Raffle if you have something in your shop you don't need anymore.
