January 2013

Happy New Year to each of you. We have an exciting year ahead of us with excellent monthly programs, for January and February, workshops and two venues that are gaining public exposure for your chapter. An Auction at our May Regional is sure to draw an increase in attendance and the public at that, every two-year event. .

THANKS!!! To all who volunteered this past year to make the events of Chapter 31 both educational, and fun. If you missed a monthly meeting you missed something special. See Volunteer below.

PUBLIC OUTREACH: We continue to be in the public view at the Oregon Territorial Museum doing onsite clock repair—thanks to Mike King, Terry White and Dan Miller. The OMSI information and demonstration table affords us another opportunity to meet the public and provide timely information about the NAWCC, Chapter 31 and the May Regional. Please contact either Mike King or myself if you would like to participate in these events.

NAWCC Membership Reduced Rate: That’s right take a $35.00 deduction off your annual dues by recruiting just one new member each year. Not everyone is interested in joining but it only takes one.

REGIONAL PLANNING: Planning Committee will meet at the Monarch Hotel to continue our planning and identify specific needs and their location at the hotel for this important event including the Auction. Meeting starts with lunch at 12:30pm Saturday, January, 12^th.

VOLUNTEER: There is an opportunity to contribute to the chapter by coordinating speakers and topics for future monthly chapter meetings. Topics and meetings are scheduled through February. Contact me at 503-807-5101 or gmclock@msn.com if interested in filling this rewarding position. May and either July or August and December do not require a speaker.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Josh Smith has agreed to carry his camera to chapter meetings and events in order to record in photographs the events of Chapter 31. Thanks to Jeff for the Holiday event pictures here and in a future Mart publication.

SUGGESTION: Become more familiar with your Chapter--check the items under the "FORMS" tab above.

Hope to see all of you at the monthly chapter meetings. Bring a friend and grow the chapter.

January 12 Regional Planning Meeting--Monarch Hotel, 12:30PM

January 20 Beaverton Library-

1:00 Council meeting, 2:00 Mart 2:30 Presentation by Stephen Nelson on burnishing / polishing pivots-restoring pivots:

My goals in restoring clock and watch mechanisms are:

1. Restore the mechanism to as close to original condition as possible,

2. Reduce friction in the gear trains, and

3. Minimize the potential for additional wear and tear.

Be sure to attend this meeting and voice your request for a followup WORKSHOP on the same subject and others for these winter months.

February 17 Beaverton Library-

2:00 Mart 2:30 Presentation by Bob Arnold on renewing the finish on on antique clock cases. If you have not seen these techniques you will be amazed at the results. If you are familiar with Bob's approach you may get some new pointers that will lead to better success on your next project.
