Hi Travis, Just want to thank you again for the Ornaments for Charity. Our Scroll saw club, Baystate Scrollahs, have been making ornaments to decorate the Holiday tree at Woodcraft in Walpole MA. for about 8 years now. Tree goes up day after Thanksgiving. The club votes on a local charity each year. The store sells the ornaments, only $5 each, and the monies then are given to the Charity for that year. Last year the club raised $1305. That's at $5 each...That's a lot of Ornaments!!! The store now has people come in each year specifically looking for the Ornaments and what's new designs for the current year. It has become a traditions for their kids to go to WC and pick out their Ornament for their tree at home. It's a WIN, WIN, WIN for everybody. Store get their tree decorated, Our Club gets visibility and shows the wonderful neat things the little saw can make, and the Charity gets need monies. Maybe some of your Scroll Saw Village people can approach their local woodworking store and see about a similar way to show ornaments for sale for their local charities. Thanks again Travis...you do so much for this wonderful genre of woodworking. Melita
