This Wednesday's Members Class

If you’re interested in wire wrapping techniques then this week’s class is for you! We’ll be learning two styles of wire wrapping an odd-shaped object. Both are quick and easy and a great skill to incorporate into your repertoire.

As usual - supplies and instruction will be provided. If you have tools, bring them.

Look forward to seeing you!

This is just a little early but We wanted to give you time.

Trunk or Treat is coming up on October 24 at Meadowbrook Park from 4-7PM.

The club will have a booth. This is a great event where participants walk from booth to booth and get a treat or do an activity. The kids will have a fun safe time.

We need donations for the event in the form of small toys and candy. We will have information about the club to give out as well.

On October 31 The Chamber of Commerce is putting on Treat Trail. As well as being at the stores downtown it will be at Railroad Park. That's where our booth will be. Candy and small toys to give out as people come by our booth would be appreciated. The time for Treat Trail is 5-8PM. Keep October 31 and the Treat Trail on your calendar.

Volunteers for both events would be appreciated. Should be great fun for those that participate.

We can use donations for Halloween decorations for the shop too. Lt's make our first holiday at the shop special.

Have a great month everyone see at the General Meeting on September 24th 6 PM at the Senior Center.

We are almost there! It’s on Friday!!

Just three days till the official Grand Opening of the TVGMS Rock Shop and Workshop.

Friday Evening 5:30 PM

We could use the assistance of a few individuals to help before the Grand Opening to set up two canopies and several tables outside the shop. A few people are needed to help tear down after the big gala event is over at about 7 pm. If you can help just come to the shop a little early around 4-4:30 PM on Friday, August 28.

The Rock Shop / Workshop address is

20406 Brian Way Suite 4A, Tehachapi, CA 93561

Also, it would be wonderful if members wore their badges or club tee shirts to the Grand Opening.

The raffle will be held at approximately 6:30 in the evening on Friday. You don’t have to buy a ticket. Every guest will be given a ticket. Since the Rock Shop and Workshop benefits from donations they are always accepted with great appreciation.

While I am making announcements. Remember our regular monthly meeting is on Thursday, August 27, 6 PM at the Senior Center. Looking forward to seeing you all at events this week. It is going to be great fun.

Its Almost Here!

The Grand Opening of the TVGMS Rock Shop and Workshop

We are actually open now but the official Grand Opening with the ribbon cutting and the Chamber of Commerce is coming soon on August 28, at 5:30 PM. That is just a week from tomorrow.

We need a few volunteers to help with making the event its very best.

If you can swing by the shop and pick up a few Grand Opening flyers to distribute around town on bulletin boards in stores that would be greatly appreciated.

If you can visit stores and especially restaurants and ask for donations such as meal vouchers to go into the Grand Opening Raffle that too would help a lot.

Hoping you can all come to the Big Event its going to be a significant milestone for the TVGMS!

See you there.
