Presented By: Glenn Koerner

**** ONE TIME MEETING LOCATION CHANGE ****

Our meeting this month will be a field trip to Fox Valley Technical College in Oshkosh. This is located in a facility named the Spanbauer Center. Glenn Koerner is the instructor for the Wood Technology program. Glenn will show us an overview of the program and what types of employment students get upon graduation.

There will also be a tour of the lab (shop). It has many state-of-the-art types of woodworking equipment. Some examples are cabinet type table saws, CNC routers, panel saws, and more. Glenn will talk about veneering as well. The school has excess veneer it no longer has a use for and has some available for free.
