The Woodworkers Club is in District 2

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to learn more about the Woodworkers Club of El Paso, which is in District 2. I didn't know about it so I figured others might not also. It is a great organization, especially for those that want to learn more about woodworking and need access to the tools and expertise to become capable or even master woodworkers. The club has been at it since 1985. They are located in a City building located at 3228 Sacramento Avenue. They have 130 members.

The Club promotes woodworking through classes, demonstrations and workshops. They also make about 3,000 wood toys a year that they donate to such organizations as Operation Santa Claus, Toys for Tots, the Ronald McDonald House and the Child Crisis Center.

Their center has workrooms open and available to all members, and a small retail center where you can pick out handcrafted wooden toys or other cool gifts. It has a library full of all you need to know about woodworking.

So if you have been wanting to learn more about woodworking, you can get more information about the Club by emailing Crafts30@aol.com or by stopping by the workshop. Tell them Susie sent you.
