Dear fellow carvers,

This is a call to help one of our woodcarving family members, Marnie
Whillock. Marnie, editor of Carving Magazine, is fighting breast cancer 
at
this time. The outlook is very positive. She had surgery, removing the
cancer, and all indications, including her bone scan, are clear of 
cancer.
This is wonderful news. However Marnie is about to undergo both Chemo 
and
Radiation treatments as the final step in defeating the cancer. The 
costs of
the surgery and treatments are high and Marnie is not covered by 
insurance.
Marnie could really use our help. She's got two sons, Ryan who is in 
college
and Cory who has a year left in high school. Marnie is the only steady
support for the household. We are trying to get enough funds together so
Marnie doesn't have to lose her home and business, which is the catalog
business of carving supplies.

I know that there are many of you carvers who are on a very limited 
income
with no possible way of sending any financial support. You're thoughts 
and
prayers, for Marnie's complete recovery, would be appreciated.

For those of you who would like to help with Marnie's treatments you 
can do
so in complete privacy by sending your donations of carvings (to be 
sold at
raffle or auction yet to be organized) or a check directly to Marnie. 
If you
are making out a check please make it out to, The Marnie Whillock 
Benefit
Fund. Another method, if you have a Wells Fargo Bank near you, is 
deposit
directly into The Marnie Whillock Benefit Fund from your local Wells 
Fargo
Bank. Tell the Wells Fargo Bank that The Marnie Whillock Benefit Fund is
under Events Inc.

Marnie's address to send your donations is:

Marnie Whillock
1018 SW 8th Street
Fairibault, MN. 55021

If you would rather not let Marnie know what you are donating you may 
send
it to Chris Whillock with the following address:

Marnie Whillock Fund
Po Box 611
Faribault, MN 55021

Marnie does so much community work that now is a great time to show our 
love
for her. Even is you are able to give a small donation it will show a 
great
amount of love and support to her. If you are not able to send carvings 
or
money, your thoughts and prayers are the greatest gift of love.

Thank you from the Whillock Family and myself,

Joe Dillett
