<p>Members, <br>
</p>
<p>That is an incredible total number of wig stands donated by our
members. Thanks to everyone who had made them. Denis Falch is
our wig stand champion, he has made a bunch of them, around a
hundred if memory serves.. And Denis' brother Doug does the
finishing of them. Bob Raasch deserves a huge shout out for his
tireless coordinating of this project with Gundersen. Thanks to
all of you who tolerated my nagging and bugging to keep making
them. Please keep it up after I am no longer Program Director.<br>
</p>
<p>I made a wig stand for a neighbor who was receiving treatment in
Eau Claire, she was very grateful for it. Luckily for her, her
cancer is now gone but the first episode of chemo was horrible for
her. The remaining five treatments were not horrible, just awful,
and I like to think that getting that wig stand after the first
treatment helped her to decide to go on with it. Things like this
remind us that our club is making an important contribution which
is a part of our reason for existence. Service is good for us, as
well as for others.</p>
<p>Thanks again,<br>
</p>
<p>John<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">Today I took
21 wig stands to the Gundersen Healthcare Cancer Center.
Taylor, the cancer center coordinator said, “the patients
love them”. My fellow turners, please continue making them,
know that the fruits of your labor do make a difference. As
an aside benefit, those recipients know these stands are
made by members of the local wood turning club, Coulee
Region Woodturners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">I believe,
but cannot guarantee that as of now, 187 stands have been
collected and sent to local healthcare facilities, it may be
more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">I did not
collect the stands from the Oct meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
