Badger Woodturners Publish March 2026 Newsletter, Update Website Highlighting Women‑in‑Turning

Badger Woodturners of Madison published their March 2026 newsletter entry and updated their ClubExpress pages to highlight Women‑in‑Turning programming, the club meeting calendar, and education and outreach efforts, with the ClubExpress homepage listing a March 2026 newsletter entry labeled, truncated, as "BWT Newslett…". The site refresh includes an explicit WIT logo reference, Image 3: WITLogo.jpg, and a link text that reads, "If you want to learn more about WIT click here.WIT Home Page at AAW."

The Badger site reproduces the WIT committee description in full: "WIT is dedicated to encouraging and assisting women in their pursuit of turning, to sharing ideas and processes to further members' skills and creativity, and to increasing participation of women in the field of woodturning. WIT itself is a committee of the American Association of Woodturners.Badger Woodturners welcomes women of all skill levels to come to the meetings, learn woodturning and have some fun." That passage appears on the ClubExpress pages alongside the club navigation and social sharing widget text, including "✓ Thanks for sharing! AddToAny More…"

Badger frames the update inside the club mission language that appears on the site: "Welcome to Badger Woodturners" and "Based in the heart of Madison, Wisconsin, we are a passionate group of makers dedicated to the art of woodturning." The ClubExpress copy lists the organization as "a501(c)(3) charitable educational organization" and sets out mission items as shown on the site: "Monthly Meetings:Connecting with fellow enthusiasts to share techniques and inspiration. Education:Hands-on classes and student mentoring for all skill levels. Community Impact:Engaging in outreach and local service projects." The site slideshow also references "BWT Newsletter Feb 2026-2" and an image caption, "Image 2 Slideshow 2024 Woodcarvers & Woodturers Show."

The materials provided do not include the full March 2026 newsletter PDF or a detailed March meeting date/time for Badger; the ClubExpress listing truncation at "BWT Newslett…" means demonstrator names, specific WIT event dates, and officer attributions are not present in the extracted content. The ClubExpress footer text on the site reads, "Home|Contact Us|Copyright © 2026 - All Rights Reserved|Terms of Use|Privacy Policy Powered ByImage 4: ClubExpress."

For regional context, West Bay Woodturners of Los Altos published a detailed March 2026 newsletter that illustrates the type of meeting programming clubs are running this month. West Bay schedules a meeting for Wednesday, March 18, 2026, 7pm at Bridges Community Church, second floor meeting room, 625 Magdalena Ave, Los Altos, CA 94024, with a demonstration listed as Edgar Whipple "Egg and Cup" featuring roughing with a skew and back hollowing end grain. West Bay’s President’s Message states, "I was well pleased by the participation in the President’s Challenge, ‘umeke (calabash), and by the beautiful examples created. See the review below. I hope to see a similar good response to Vic Mitnick’s sphere demonstration as the President’s Challenge for March 2026 is 'Spheres and Eggs'."

West Bay’s newsletter also lists its officers by name, including President Edgar Whipple, Vice President Jon Bishop, Treasurer Jim Koren, Secretary Alison Lee, and Meeting Program Coordinator Claude Godcharles, and shows show-and-tell images captioned "Turned wooden eggs by Mark Rand" and "Open Egg-Shape Box by Dean Caudle." That contrast highlights how Badger’s high-level site update and WIT emphasis sits alongside other clubs publishing full meeting agendas and demonstrator details.

Badger Woodturners’ ClubExpress copy emphasizes outreach and teaching with lines such as "Education:Hands-on classes and student mentoring for all skill levels" and "Community Impact:Engaging in outreach and local service projects," and the addition of the WIT logo and AAW link indicates the club is foregrounding women-in-turning activities in its March communications.
