About the event
Our January meeting is going to be held on Jan. 13th at Mike Bettinger's welding shop, 3340 Garber Road, Tallahassee, FL 32303. Mike's grilling crew is going to make chicken  for us, and we should bring sides and desserts to go with it.  The January meeting at Bettinger's tends to be our biggest  of the year, with over 50 signing in last year. Daniel Schul  will be demonstrating for us. Last year he made an axe. I  wonder what this year will be? Chris Cauthen is going to  bring supplies to lead a class making peppers, so there's a  chance for several people to give it a try.Â
Come prepared, if  you're interested, and be sure to bring donations for the raffle. Handmade by you items always get a free ticket  bounty, based on the complexity of the donated items.  Sounds like it's going to be a great meeting. Unfortunately for me, I have to leave the day before to fly to  Washington State. My sister needs a dog and house sitter  and I can't resist a chance to go on an adventure. Roger Bell is going to cover for me by bringing the sign-in  book and supplies for the raffle. Billy Christie will help with the raffle as usual and make sure bounty items are  properly rewarded. Have fun you all! We haven't set the  place for the February meeting yet, so I'll have to let you  know about that one in the February Clinker Breaker.
