[Woodcarver] What is a Carving Club's Purpose? Chat

[Joe Dillett]

Thanks Merrilee,

As you know, scholarships can be small amounts of money. Especially today, many students are really struggling for college funding. In this economy many of their summer jobs were not available and a few hundred dollars could make the difference of them going or not going to school. If a club has a few extra dollars they could be well spent seeking out such students through financial aid departments at colleges.

  Good evening, Joe!
      I like your suggestions #3.  As a former art teacher that one is a great idea and will help future art teachers.  Thanks!

  Hi Terry, I'm not aware of any specific purpose of the club I belong to, other then just getting together to carve and have fun. Here are some goals that your club could have...... 1) Promote the art of woodcarving, as a fine art form 2) Promote the art of woodcarving through teaching its membership. 3) Promote education through providing scholarships to students with art majors. 4) Fundraising by donating carving to charities. 5) Provide an art class that satisfies the art credit for home school kids. 6) Provide a social atmosphere for it's members. 7) Provide an outlet for selling and the purchase of woodcarving through shows. 8) Organize a coop for sharing resources of machines, tools and supplies. 9) Submit membership names to local supplies for possible discounts. 10) To provide for a source of instructors and classes for the local park district or community college.
