Program preceding the meeting:

Dave demonstrated his laser burner:  How the laser is reflected down to the material platform.  How the depth of the cut is controlled and how the design to cut is controlled by a plug in to Corel Draw software.  Multiple burns beginning with the lowest power first produce finished products etched and cut to the desired shape.

 Treasurers Report:

            The treasury remains in good shape

 Presidents Report:

Efforts to meet with Mt. Lebanon Historical Society to explore the possibilities of locating a layout in their building are ongoing
