Hey all!

Since a few members came to me with problems viewing the previous layout because of the color constrasts I have updated the scheme and added a text size adjuster to facilitate use.

You will notice a couple minor changes with this new layout.  First the “log in” is now in the header above the menu.  Secondly, the upcoming events in the sidebar are not linking correctly.  So while I work out this bug please use the Current Events link in the menu to access upcoming events calendar.

Thanks!

Hi All!

It’s that time again, the time to volunteer your services to the group.

After years of service Harry Heuer will be stepping down from the treasurer’s position.  We want to offer many thanks to Harry for his service.  We would also like to fill the vice president’s position to allow Mike to focus on the newsletter.

If you are interested in helping out or just have questions please let me, Candace Martens, or Keith Price know.

Two of our members are supporting the John C. Campbell Folk School Blacksmith expansion by ‘buying’ beams!  Please check out the article here.

Hey All!

There will be slight change to the Adirondack Meeting, it will be on March 27th instead of March 13th.  All other information is the same, the group will be at Robert Cunningham’s Shop and will work on Damascus.

To the young man from Sanborn who emailed us.

There was a glitch in our contact form and your email was lost.  The address you are looking for is for Andy Chamber’s Shop at 1 Roberts Ave in Buffalo, NY.  If you need additional information you can contact Bob Corneck, the Niagara Forgemaster, at (716) 741-4311.

The contact forms have been re-verified. Sorry about the confusion.
