Do you remember the October storm of 2006? Therese Forton-Barnes does and informed all of a program “Turning Fallen Trees into Works of Art” ie “Carvings for a Cause”. Some members took wood from fallen trees and will make some turning art items to be donated to this program. The monies donated will be used to re-tree western New York. Check out the website www.carvingsforacause.com. The first auction is June 18^th, and 50% of the sale price goes to the woodcrafter and 50% goes to “Carvings for a Cause”.
