The South Dakota Woodworkers Guild is forming a new chapter in Rapid City this month.

The guild is a nonprofit group of woodworking hobbyists and professionals who meet once a month; its primary agenda is to give back to the community, according to a news release.

For example, the Northern Hills chapter based in Spearfish recently created 13 handmade flag cases for the Spearfish Honor Guard.

Bob Buchanan is organizing the Rapid City chapter, and the group will meet at Splinters, a woodworking business that allows people to rent shop time to build their projects.

For more, visit www.sdwoodworker.org/rapidcity.html or contact Buchanan at rdub_buchanan@yahoo.com or 348-2865.

Monthly meetings will be held at 7 p.m. the second Monday of the month, with the first meeting on June 9.
