I had been approached by a Boy Scout - son of a friend - asking if I could help him earn a badge, but I needed to get special insurance, which was too much. So if we can work with them on a project to help them advance and earn badges, then you could be on to something.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4650639999167904060-1325144344507259963?l=www3.telus.net%2Ftoys4kids%2Fblogger.html'/></div>Herveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01239986556588352696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650639999167904060.post-14541930464137104242009-04-07T22:09:00.000-07:002009-04-07T22:24:03.960-07:00We are pleased to let you all know that we are entertaining the idea of having the kids toy workshop back. I joined the Lions to try to make woodworkers in each of the corners of B.C. aware of what we do for kids. I have the approval of the Chilliwack Lions Club to set up an event either at our hall or have a workshop at the Canada Day party at Heritage Park this summer.<br /> I have contacted Delta tools to see if they want to help us by supplying the table top tools.They have been a sponsor of our society for 3 years now and we look forward to their continued partnership in building smiles for kids.<br /> I am interested to know what members think of this idea of helping kids learn how to do woodworking. The Lions club has insurance for events like this and the Arts council has been looking for an event like this for Canada Day, so I think we will have lots of help. If things go well we might consider bringing it back to the wood show in Abbotsford<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4650639999167904060-1454193046413710424?l=www3.telus.net%2Ftoys4kids%2Fblogger.html'/></div>Robert Prinsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02825600356161563428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650639999167904060.post-61499406960130873572009-04-03T18:19:00.000-07:002009-04-03T18:22:56.770-07:00Robert just sent me the following.<br />Today a fellow with lots of life experience dropped in off the freeway. Les is from Quenell and wanted some curly maple to make bowls to give away, thinking quickly I suggested he visit my finishing room to see our display case and offered free wood if he made toys for kids in Quennel. I asked him to invite his wife Shirly from the car to see the toys as well, great idea as she bought the rocking horse that Paul Gray made. They also offered to buy two of the small boxes that Marcel made, so they left with free wood and our society is $190. richer.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4650639999167904060-6149940696013087357?l=www3.telus.net%2Ftoys4kids%2Fblogger.html'/></div>Colinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650639999167904060.post-32488425713503919172009-04-03T14:14:00.000-07:002009-04-03T15:01:16.153-07:00<div align="center">We are now attempting to create a blog to keep you up to date on Toymaker activities.
