Overview

The Woodworkers of Green Valley Recreation A.K.A. The Woodworkers of Green Valley is a non-profit 501(c)(4) woodworking hobby shop club comprised of over 500, (mostly retired), men and women from all walks of life.  Our club is open to all current members of Green Valley Recreation.  Our goal is to provide a safe, well maintained, organized wood and hobby shop environment where club members may explore the woodworking crafts.

The woodshop occupies approximately 6,000 Sq/Ft of interior floor space and provides a vast array of stationery and hand power tools for member use.  Members, however, must provide their own wood. 

Our club is a membership based club with annual dues of $60.00. All perspective members must first complete a 6 hour, (2 hours per day for 3 days), New Member Orientation workshop.  Upon successful completion new members will have access to all of the machinery and tools within the shop for use on their own projects.

History

The Woodworkers of Green Valley was started in early 1972 by a small group of woodworking enthusiasts. During the ensuing years, it has become a very popular organization and has grown to over five hundred members. 

Over the years many GVR members and GVR clubs have benefited from the wood shop by having a piece of wood cut or a chair repaired.  Several clubs have had lockers and work benches constructed for their facilities by the wood shop.
