[Woodcarver] Let's Help Marnie Whillock

Tue Jun 8 16:28:58 EDT 2004

I have a carving I would like to donate to the Marnie Whillock fund. Who and where should I send it. I am also sending out a memo to my fellow carvers in Brooklyn and Queens NY (Woodcarvers of Queens NY Club) to see if I can get some more pieces donated. I will keep you posted.

Thanks Sally and Matt.

Thank you both for stepping in and helping me out with this. I just picked
up some 5/8 oak dowels for the canes, so 5/8-inch holes will be perfect for
the segments mailed to me.

Hi listers.
With everyone working on cane blanks, etc. let's not let this one get
away from us. We can all do cane blanks as well as submit a carving to
Dennis' auction. I know that some of you are working on a "special"
carving to donate and that will take some time. There are others of
you that have some nice items sitting on your shelves that didn't sell
at your last show. What better way to reap the harvest of your time
and talent than donating to this worthy cause? Dennis, Bill and Joe
have devoted their time and effort to set these things up. I applaud
them. This is where we carvers shine...helping a sister/brother.

Just one opinion ;)

Greetings To All Mail List Members:

When Marnie Whillock's plight was first announced to the MAIL
LIST SUBSCRIBERS, we were all asked to help out by contributing
financially or with a carving for a silent auction. The auction is to
be held at a Festival in MN in August. Bill Judt and Doe Dillett have
been instrumental in this endeavour.

The staff at Chipping Away have also decided to do whatever we can to
help her. Our first step was to seek approval from not only Bill and
Joe, but also Marnie and her family and having obtained their
endorsement we have set some wheels in motion.

Our first approach was to contact Randy Langden of the Caricature
Carvers of America. Being the kind of people they are (and as most
carvers) they jumped on the wagon without hesitation. Randy and the
Board of The CCA have offered: "We'd like to support the fundraising
by doing a "group" carving scene of a woodcarver, much like the ones
we've done for Ted McGill and Jack Williams. The photographer we did
for Jack is on our website at www.cca-carvers.org , if you'd care to
look at it. Then, we'd like to offer the piece for sale on EBay (we're
just finishing up the CCA auction on EBay and the results have been
fantastic...." I am sure you will all agree that this is a wonderful
gesture. But ...the CCA members, nor Chipping Away plan to stop
there!

The next approach that Chipping Away wishes to take is to hold an
additional Silent Auction at our upcoming International Carver's
Conference on September 10, 11, and 12th here in Kitchener, ON. We
will have an entirely different group of carvers here than at the
Whillock Festival in August, and it also provides some extra time for
those wishing to contribute. We have already heard individual CCA
members will be sending carvings for our September auction.

To see the details, instruction, etc for this Silent Auction, please
visit www.chippingaway.com and click on the marquee reading: Marnie
Whillock ~ Silent Auction

We invite YOUR contribution of a carving for the Conference
Silent Auction. All carvings contributed will be photographed
and pictured together with the name of the carver on our website. We
believe it is important to have a wide variety of carvings with
different 'value' levels in order to have something of appeal to all
attendees. We will have a suggested minimum bid on each item. Should
there be carvings that are not sold during the Conference, it is our
intent to offer them by Silent Auction on our website. The website
auction would be for a limited period of time and bids accepted by
email only. All of this information is included on the website.

We invite you to visit this site now ... it can be accessed through our
main website at: www.chippingaway.com We believe it will answer most
of your questions, but if you have further questions, please email them
"off the list". Caution ...do not ship carvings without referring to
the instructions offered on the website ...all the details are provided
there ...this is critical!

Marnie's needs (both spiritual and financial) will be very challenging,
but I truly believe our woodcarving community is up to the task.
Please remember her in your thoughts and prayers.

Dennis Moor & The Staff of Chipping Away
