About the Club
Our club has a regular meeting on the second Thursday of each month. We meet at the Salem Senior Center, located at 1055 Erixon St. NE, Salem, OR 97301. Click here for a map. Doors open at 6:00 PM for visiting and use of the library. The meeting starts at 6:30 PM and ends by 9:00 PM, when the center closes. To offset room rental and other club expenses, we charge a fee of $20 a year for membership. For those joining mid-year, this fee is prorated on a quarterly basis. Spouses that wish to attend club meetings and events are included as full members at no extra charge. In addition to the regular monthly meeting, we have informal “sawdust sessions” several times a year for those wishing to learn a particular skill. The time, location and topic of these sessions vary, and are listed in the Announcements page. Members needing one-on-one sessions – whether as a beginner or just to refine a specific skill - are welcome to contact one of our several volunteer mentors. To learn more about our club, you can read our by-laws. Better yet, come join us! Click here for a copy of our membership form. We look forward to seeing you soon. Happy Turning! --the Willamette Valley Woodturners Executive Board

The Willamette Valley Woodturners was created in May of 1997 to serve woodturners in the mid-Willamette Valley region of Oregon. While many of our members live in or near Salem, a number of our members come from across the valley. Several travel from the Corvallis area in the south, or from McMinnville, Lake Oswego and other communities to the north. We also draw members from as far west as the Oregon coast, and east to the Cascade mountains. All these men and women have a few things in common – a love of woodturning, a desire to learn, and a willingness to share. We are now approximately 75 members strong, ranging in age from our senior member at 89, and our youngest member at 14. Our club is open to anyone regardless of gender, race, religion, or level of woodturning experience. For liability reasons, we ask that minors be accompanied by a responsible adult.
