Just a quick note to community, our club would love to have you come and stop by to see what we are doing! Every Wednesday, from 8am to about 3pm the carving room is open. Our group, led by President Cliff Lindahl, is getting ready for another shipment of Eagle Cane heads. We have applications available for veterans to apply to the program for Eagle Canes, with their name, rank and branch of service entered on the cane. Our group does not supply the canes, but carves the eagles that are put on cane shafts for the Wounded Warrior program. We will be having beginning carving classes in January on Wednesday for interested folks! We do carving, pyrography, painting and some serious talking over coffee! Stop by and see us!
