Just wanted you to know that we are doing our best.

A teacher from Spring Lake Park High School gave his students a choice. This is the result.

I now have the boxes and they will be delivered to a hospital in Minneapolis next week. Below is just some pictures.
There are a total of ten of these boxes. I have 4 turned boxes from local turners.
And next Saturday in St. Cloud, I will be getting the last of them delivered to me.


Thanks again for everything.

Hi Wayne: Those are some might impressive boxes from the students.

I appreciate the feedback that the BOC is getting spread around. I was introduced to it by my local AAW chapter, and I have participated and said I would try to draw my IAP friends towards it.

It's like dropping pebbles into a river... If enough are dropped, the course of the river can eventually be changed. Every Bead, every bowl, every random act of kindness can be helpful.

Wayne, Dawn, Ed... Thank you also!

Those sure are nice boxes, and even better, it's nice to hear about groups of kids doing things like this. Sure beats the heck out of the junk we get bombarded with by the media. I sent an email to the teacher telling him that. He and those kids parents are doing things right~
Thanks for sharing
