NAME Day 2012

3rd Annual NAME Day
"The Alcove" Project
Oct. 6, 2012

This year, we present “The Alcove” for our members all over the world to complete on the same day in October 2012.  Please remember that NAME Day has been created as a benefit for NAME members and clubs only. 

There are so many things you can do with this unit.  Have fun building and furnishing it.  You can order a kit or cut your own.  You can complete the project at home or with a friend or with a whole group.  Just participate on October 6 or as close to that date as possible.
This is not a Fundraiser for NAME. In fact, NAME does not profit from NAME Day unless your club or event should decide to donate some of the proceeds. The Kit Cutters are cutting the kits as a part of their own businesses, not for NAME profit.  The only funds that go to NAME are the minimal profit on the NAME Day pins and those funds go back into the NAME Day Fund to help pay for the “free” kits provided to NAME Day Planning groups.  WE NEED ADDITIONAL KIT CUTTERS: If you are interested in cutting kits for sale to members, please contact:

Susan or Barbara will let you know how to register on our lists to be posted online and in the future Gazette issues.  They will also send you the “saw-cut” plans in three scales.  Plans will be available in the following scales:  1”, ½” and ¼”.  

 

Some cutters may choose to present it in other scales and that information will be available here and in future Gazette issues.   Please be aware that different cutters use different types of cutting and design techniques (laser cut, saw cut, bass wood, hardwoods, opening doors, non-opening doors, etc.)  Be sure to check out what features, and types of kits the cutters have available so you are aware of what you are ordering.

Plans for cutting and instructions for assembly will be published in the July/August Gazette and on the NAME Online Region (our members only section) in August.

 

HAVE A GREAT NAME DAY!!!!
