Several years ago, Christy Kern made a quilt that
displays all of the logos of the Locals in our council. This quilt has raised
thousands of dollars that has been donated to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
We are pleased to announce that we have the quilt on display in the office this
quarter. Please stop by and see it! It is quite an amazing sight!
Toy Drive raises close to $6,000
The Pacific Northwest Regional Council of
Carpenters toy drive was a huge success!! All of the locals combined were able
to contribute $5,779.25 in monetary donations, 956 toys were donated to the Toy
& Joy Makers in the Metro area and 489 gifts were donated to outlining areas and
other agencies! WOW!!
We would like to thank all of those members who helped us reached this goal. We
know that these contributions were appreciated by many and helped many families
have a merrier Christmas!
