Rules:

* The project is due on the meeting date.
* You must be present at the meeting when the project is turned in.
* If you miss a meeting/project, there will be no opportunity for a 'make-up'. You can still receive one chance for the grand prize for each project brought to the meeting when it is due.
* If you turn in all twelve of your attempts on time, you will receive double the chances (24 instead of 12).

Prizes:

We will continue giving raffle tickets to the monthly raffle for up to 3 entries each month. Everyone who completes the projects (all entries from the rules above) will get a $20 discount off the NC Woodturning Club 2013 yearly dues.

The grand prize!

Everyone who completes the projects will be put into a raffle for a chance to win- a Jet JML-1014VS 10" VS Mini Lathe!
The drawing will be held in December 2012 for the grand prize.


Good Luck!
