Our sincere thanks to Steve Brady for his terrific class at the September meeting, "Dampers from the Ground Up."
Finally, after many months, our next gathering will actually be a gathering! On Saturday, October 23, we will once again be having the OC PTG Tool Auction. Look around your shops for any tools, parts, accessories, etc. that you'd like to sell. There is good stuff every year - come and check out what's for sale this year.
The Tool Auction benefits the seller and the hosting Orange County Chapter. Here's how it works: The contributor and the chapter split the income for an item or group of items 50/50. In the event that an item has a minimum bid, the minimum bid amount goes to the contributor and any additional amount goes to the OC Chapter until the minimum bid is doubled, then the 50/50 ratio is reinstated.
To illustrate: A technician brings in a tuning hammer with a high retail value and doesn't want to part with it unless he can take home $100. Bidding opens at $100. If the hammer sells for $100 this entire amount goes to the technician. If it sells for $150: $100 goes to the technician and $50 goes to the OC Chapter. If it sells for $200: $100 goes to the technician and $100 goes to the OC Chapter. If it sells for $210: the technician gets $105 and the OC Chapter gets $105.
Light snacks and beverages will be on hand. We will try to maintain as much distancing as possible.
