• Message to All AAW Members from Dale Larson (2/23/12)

In January, we asked our membership to vote approval of a plan to renew the 501(c)(3) status of the American Association of Woodturners in order to preserve the AAW as a nonprofit organization. This required us to file a new application with the Internal Revenue Service to bring the AAW into full compliance with current regulations. The IRS expedited our request and on January 13, 2012, approved the new corporation dating from November 14, 2011. I am pleased to report that AAW members voted overwhelmingly in favor of the proposal. I have signed the Articles of Merger and they are being filed with the State of Minnesota. This resolves a paperwork issue that occurred some years ago, and allows us to continue our educational and fundraising programs. Thank you for supporting the AAW.
