I would like to encourage more chapters to participate in the Chapter Collaborative project. Our group starts this within a month of attending the symposium and it is a wonderful experience for all involved. It is amazing to see the idea that you started with evolve throughout the year. Last year we started with a very simple idea, it was what I wanted to enter into the juried exhibit, and by the time we were done it won "Best of Show"! We meet once a month at a members house, same member all year, and spend about 6 hours working on the project. We have a great gourmet lunch that we take turns providing. It is open to every member of our chapter, sometimes reaching up to 20 or more members. When I was a new member this helped me learn how to turn as well as get acquainted with our members. This will bring your chapter together and create relationships that will keep us all turning for years to come. I hope that next year we have 20 entries into the competition. We all met for dinner Thusday evening, 32 of us, and already were brain storming ideas for this year. I would like to see a write up on getting started for chapters who would like to participate but need help getting started in our AAW journal. Maybe I could submit something.

2006 Club Collab. Challenge

Aloha Jeff,
While your efforts to increase club participation in the collab. challenge is great, my question is "where is the coverage of this years entries? Pics? # of entries? Winners?
Mahalo for all of your good work. Wish that I could have been there.

Aloha Dave Somers from Volcano. I hope the AAW liked the Kona Coffee that you furnished. FYI, this is a great and generous guy. He stayed up late the night of our David Ellsworth demo to bake great tasting cookies, brownies and breads for our hands on session with David the next day. What a guy.
 
Aloha Doug - "we" will be posting the results of the symposium in the AW Journal and also on the website. The website will have the results within a month. In this case the "we" will be Ed Davidson for most of it, and Angelo Iafrate for the conference results letter.
 
Quick replies & action

Aloha Jeff,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Aloha Ed,
Thanks for the quick reply and also the link that led to the Colab. Chal. photos. I had viewed all of the other photos and was disappointed about nothing on the club entries. Forgive me for my impatience as I was excited by your other pics. and I thank you and the others for taking the time that you do to make the AAW the fine group that it is.
Mahalo to both of you
