Hello  Mike,

AAW Members Invited to Join 25th Anniversary Project

The editors of the AAW 25th anniversary book invite AAW members to submit 
short essays about their introduction to the woodturning field and the AAW 
as an organization.

"We're going to go after writing from the well-known members, but we're 
also looking for writings from those who might not be so well known," the 
volume's editor, John Kelsey, explained. "We want to be sure ordinary 
members have a way to tell their stories in the anniversary volume."

The AAW Board of Directors has appointed Kelsey, of Lancaster PA, as 
editor and manager for the 25th anniversary project. He'll be working 
through 2008 and 2009 to gather material for the 256-page book.

"We'd like to hear from as many members as we can," Kelsey said. "We'd 
like members to write about how they came to the field of woodturning, and 
what it has meant in their lives."

The editorial team also invites members to submit photographs they have 
taken at AAW events. It's important that these photographs be dated, and 
they should be accompanied by as much information as possible about the 
turners and turnings that appear in them.

Members who would like to discuss this project, or participate in it, are 
welcome to contact the editor by email at editorkelsey@gmail.com.

Thanks

Jean LeGwin - AAW Board of Directors
