Today, several of us from the woodworking club got together to make toys for
underprivileged kids in our area that will be distributed by Volunteers of America at Christm
astime. Each year, my club makes at least 75 cars and trucks. We'll put wheels on them next week and drill the "windows". Although very simple designs, the toys are given to very young kids and we're told they love them. The good part about these toys is they can really take a beating (they are 6 year old tested and approved). All wood is donated by a local lumberyard and the Woodcraft Store lets us use their woodworking shop to build the toys, so it's very much a team effort.

Thanks for the clarification of your identity in the photo. I wouldn't have known, if I didn't live with you.
Well, I so closely resemble the guy with the beard that I figured I'd better clarify.
Oh... you're the woman? You absolutely crack me up.:)
