Sucessful gathering of Toys for Tots

[bobby g]

Last night about 80 of us from Triangle Woodworkers Association gathered at Klingspor"s in Raleigh to turn in the wooden toys that we had made for the annual drive. The total exceeded 3200! We had plenty of good food and fellowship and were entertained by special guest Roy Underhill. Roy has been supporting TWA on this subject for about 20 years. Here are a few photos; there are more in my gallery. Note that only a few hundred toys were put out for display.

Well done Bobby and all others involved. Have been associated with that effort in the past I know it is fun and very rewarding. If you ever get an opportunity to do anything like this please do so. It is some of the finest woodworking you will even do.
