Meeting host:
             Our host was Amy Weber at the Houston Center for Creative Crafts 
    (HCCC). This was the Club's second juried show. Places were not determined for
    individual categories. Instead, the turner of each selected piece was issued a 
    certificate of merit; and, the items will be on display for one month at HCCC.
             The final pictures in the slide show are bowls that were donated by
    GCWA club members for the HCCC Empty Bowl Event to help the Houston Food Bank 
    raise money.
