I participated in a charity auction last year year to raise money for a young lady that needed a lung transplant. You can read about it here: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=111222 Well, the transplant was done and she is doing well. Though she has been in the hospital numerous times since then, her spirits never dampen. I am participating again this year in another auction to help pay the immense bills and hope my donation sells for more than last year ($360). I have read numerous threads about what to do with all the bowls and super great items that get turned and then stored away. Well, if you want to help someone out with them, please PM me and I will see that they are properly presented and auctioned for a good cause. I will be glad to help with shipping costs if you need me to and will post pictures of the turnings and the auction. You can google "amber's angels" for information on the charity that she started and some information about her or go to www. my breath of life.org (no spaces) for information on the auction. If you have any questions, please PM me. Thanks in advance!
