Therewas an estimated 800 items in theInstant Gallery. The event was awonderful experience besides all ofthe demonstrations.EDITORALWow! Two months in a row, we’ve attended two wonderful symposiums.The AAW Symposium was a great symposium, although verylarge, it had many things to see besides the demonstrations. The InstantGallery was mind boggling and the other galleries were something verydifferent.At this point, we expect to stay home and attend to things in our area.The costs of these symposiums are pretty steep by the time you considertransportation and hotels. Are they worth it? I think so or I would not havespent the money to go. Hopefully there will be some new advertisers andsome additional subscribers.Incidentally, our ongoing offer of a CD-ROM of all issues published(a $95.00 value) in exchange for clubs sending in 10 subscriptions isworking fairly well. I believe that five clubs have responded by now andwe are hoping there will be more. Please encourage your club membersto participate in this program.Fred Holder, Editor and PublisherTo Subscribe to More Woodturning:Check the Print Subscription Period Below:United States Canada Other Countries__One Year/$35 __One Year/$48 __One Year/$68__Two Years/$70 __Two Years/$100 __Two Years/$105__Three Years/$105 __Three Years/$145 __Three Years/$205All amounts in US Dollars!
