Message from our President, Bill Marlow:
Many thanks to all of you for your efforts and support for our club at Strawberry Fest. This was a "first time" event for our club to be at public event and display what we create as well as our out reach programs. We learned a great deal with this event and can now plan for future events. We gained one new member with this effort and have a list of 16 more individuals that want to be contacted about our Learn to Turn program and membership in our club. Several other members of the public express interest in or club. Surprisingly we had at least three people make a donation to our club because of our out reach programs. No matter your level of participation in this event, it was good to have all of you involved. Thank you again. Bill
WIG STANDS FOR CARTI
WIG STANDS for CANCER victims and survivors. DSWT has partnered with CARTI to produce wig stands for women who have lost their hair in their fight against cancer. This is our first batch being presented to CARTI for their wig display room. This is one of our many VOLUNTEER efforts and gives all wood-turners a chance to contribute their time and efforts in making a difference in some one's life. The instructions for the general dimensions are also posted below. You are only limited by your creativity. Please note that the synthetic hair wigs have to have a non-wood elevation for air circulation. Natural hair wigs can rest directly on the wood. Otherwise, you are unlimited by your creativity. Come join us in the effort! Thank you to all who have contributed and those who will continue to do so.
