Win One Turn One raffle was started in the 2020-2021 year, as an idea to make it easier for our members to obtain a turned item from other members. We are making a slight change for 2022-2023 which we hope will help more members participate.

Each month, at the Monthly meeting, we do a drawing among our current members, and the winning name that is drawn does not have to be present at the meeting to win.

The winning name is the winner of the donated piece that month, and they "bring back" any turned piece they have made at the meeting in two months. Members can only win one time in a three year period, to allow more members a chance to win the raffle.

New items are added at the top of the page, and you can scroll down to view winners during the current year. Here's a link to the archived page for Win One Bring one for the 2021-2022 year, and a link to the 2020-2021 winners.
