<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>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR>I'll give it some thought </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> (Although thinking hurts )</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am sure many of us are already carving for Christmas charity 's</DIV>
<DIV>The three clubs I belong to are doing it </DIV>
<DIV>BUT there MUST be a way that we can stir up some activity on this list
</DIV>
<DIV>One thought thats close to my mind is "MS" </DIV>
<DIV>We have a daughter with MS andtwo weeks ago she qwent to her specialist
(Thea took her ) and her eyesight was 20 /20 </DIV>
<DIV>End in a matter of 3 days she is blind with her left eye </DIV>
<DIV>Just overnight it happen </DIV>
<DIV>And I am sure there are many great projects to carve for </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Right now I am carving parts for a antuque
COOKOO Clock </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>from India </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are patrs missing and its kind of a challence
to build it up </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do have a twin clock to go by that helps
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Been carving 8 (eight) hat forms </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Like for Polo hats amnd each one had to be a
3/8 " smaller in circumverance </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kinda tricky But I got them done in a week and the
client was in his words "SUPER"happy </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and that give me a great feeling </FONT><FONT
