ALASKA WOODTURNERS MEETINGS

Due to the COVID-19 virus, the next physical meeting date has yet to be determined.

With the rapidly changing guidelines and emergency declarations surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), the AWA will be holding remote meetings and demonstrations via Zoom until we are confident that we will all be safe during our meetings.
