The Metal Club is well known for its vacation/security mail boxes. Special thanks to the Club members who gather 2 – 3 times a year to assemble over 100 mail boxes each time. A smaller group including Cliff Sowle, Wayne Wiley, Gene Mollick, Max Soldenwagner, Russ Frey and Dave Eicke, mail box chair, spent many hours prior to the assembly process last month in making the required parts for assembly. The mail boxes can be purchased at the SCW Village Store in the R.H. Johnson Rec Center and installation is available through the Metal Club.

Metal Club general membership meetings in 2010 have been moved from the third Thursday of the month to the second Thursday.

If you are a resident of S.C.W. and interested in joining the Metal Club, stop by for a visit and tour of the facility. Many members of the club had no previous experience working with metal as no experienced is necessary. A wide variety of new skills can be learned from the myriad of classes available. Annual membership dues of $20 provide access to equipment and instruction unavailable elsewhere. The Metal Club also offers social opportunities and events which include spouses or significant others.
