Chapter Stalwarts - Lancaster Area Woodturners

John Kelsey

In addition to the countless contributions John Kelsey has made for AAW and the turning community over decades, he has been the sole force behind the Lancaster Area Woodturners’ Weekly Coffee Hour, recently completing its 93rd session.

John created the Coffee Hour to support continuing camaraderie in the woodturning community as COVID hit, and uses Zoom to host — for free — all are welcome — dozens of attendees from literally across the globe. For what he has done, I’m proud to know John and honored to nominate him as a Stalwart.
