Mission
and Purpose
The Lake Charles Woodworkers Club,
Inc. was formed in 1990 by several area
woodworkers for the purpose of education
and information exchange among
woodworkers in the Lake Area. Besides monthly meetings,
we hold an annual summer get-together and special "Show and Tell"
meetings where members can show and discuss their current projects with other members. In addition to general woodworking topics, we occasionally
have presentations from outside traditional woodwork
areas. The Club is a non-profit Louisiana corporation. Our membership includes
amateur woodworkers as well as professional craftsman in
the fields of wood turning, cabinet making,
carving, scroll work, box making, marquetry, Intarsia and more at all levels of skills and interest.
We discuss woodworking techniques and tips, tools, have periodic tool use
demonstrations and show current projects. Special discounts are
available to all members from area tool and material
suppliers. We hold monthly meetings,
generally on the second Saturday of each month at a
member's shop or a local craftsman's commercial
shop and sometimes at the Calcasieu Public Library (depending on the subject of the
meeting).
Annual Dues
Annual Dues are $20.00 per year for a family membership
that pays for the monthly
newsletter, meeting and mailing expenses.
Any surplus is used to help off-set the expenses for the Annual Toy program, the annual
Summer BBQ, charitable donations and door prizes.
