NUTMEG WOODTURNERS LEAGUE
Founded 1989 A chapter of the American Association of Woodturners Brookfield, Ct.
NUTMEG MEMBERS' COMMUNITY WORK
Like many other chapters of the American Association of Woodturners, the Nutmeg Woodturners League encourages its
members to reach out to their communities and perform all manner of good works, woodturning and otherwise.
Pens for troops
For many years, the Nutmeg Woodturners League has supported the program to turn pens to give to our troops. We schedule pen-making sessions throughout the year, with all materials free. Future turning sessions will be listed on the Upcoming Events page.
Printing face shields
From the beginning of the pandemic, Steve Prior has been making face shields for first responders on his 3D printer. He's made thousands of them, all for free. In October 2020, after a two month hiatus, he fired up the printer to make 100 new shields for Danbury High School.
Organ donation
After recovering from a heart transplant, Alan Ganek began working with LiveOnNY, the organ procurement organization for the New York metro area, to help increase awareness and provide education about the importance of organ donation. A donor made the selfless decision to say yes, which helped save Alan’s life. He hopes that his experience inspires others to give the gift of life through donation. Alan is happy to provide more information. Contact him at: nutmegwoodturners@gmail.com.
