A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to the Holiday Season!
Hello!
I want to thank everyone who participated in the 2025 Craft Fair, for our most successful year ever!
So many people participated, even some who did so anonymously. We had people who donated a whole lot of beautiful items for us to sell. Thanks for your hard work!
We had a dedicated team of workers, several whom participated for the first time this year helping us in pricing, packing, selling, moving, storing items and more. We were also able to take credit cards for the first time with square!
We had more customers than ever this year. Thanks to all of you who spread the word, brought your friends, and bought items at the Craft Fair. We couldn't have done it without you!
Also, thanks to everyone who attended the Diablo Woodworkers Holiday Party at the Veterans Memorial building in Lafayette! A lot of people liked the warmer and cozier atmosphere and of course, the delicious food provided by our members and Kinder’s Meats.
It’s always fun to catch up with our friends and make new friends, too. I won’t be able to eat a full dinner for a while!
It sounds like we’ll be meeting there again, and we’ll make allowances for Show & Tell displays next time.
Lastly I would like to say that this is the last president’s message from me. I will be stepping down in January of 2026 and Phillip David will be taking my place. Let’s all welcome Phil to his new role!
Have a safe and happy holiday season, and we hope that you join us again!
