<DIV>Jan,</DIV>
<DIV>I think that there's a way for the list to do a large project like the virtual porch again. Here's an example, our local carving club carves Christmas ornaments to decorate a tree every year for the Salem Senior Center. The Senior Center has an fund raising auction a little before Christmas. One of the items auctioned off is the tree full of carved ornaments. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If somebody (Jan) could find an acceptable charity outlet for several theme carvings a project could be done. Many carvers would participate if they knew where their work was going or at least where any monetary gain from their carving is going. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is something that could be discussed just like we did when the virtual porch was created.</DIV>

<DIV>With the ease of exchanging photos, the virtual porch is an idea of the past, IMHO.</DIV>

<DIV>About the Virtual Porch:
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The actual porch is dismantled, but most of the carvings survive on the ledge of the wall in front of my computer workstation. I see them every day, and reflect often on the project and the people that participated in it. The chimney is intact, as is the keyboard too. I have fun showing my students the carved keyboard and mouse pad. Classics!!</DIV>
