[Woodcarver] young carvers (chat)

[Merrilee Johnson]

Hi Peter,
How sad for the school's children.  Being a teacher I do know how hard it is 
  to let "others" come in and do something but... in they must come and we 
all benefit!  Even just a demonstration to show what it is all about  and 
then let the kids do it after school or the weekend.  As someone else 
suggested Saturday or Sunday is good but I have 2 kids that want to carve 
but they both belong to a traveling soccor team and they play games both 
day.  I guess this is how they learn to make choices in life :)    And then 
the retired adults only carving one day a week is sad also.  Yet I think its 
just a social thing more than anything for some.  Maybe something will hit 
home and the interest will pick up thier interest.  Hopefully! :)
Have a good day!
Merrilee
