To all OVWG members,

Our Turning 2025 Symposium is right around the corner! We need your help to make it a success. Please consider donating one of your “showcase“ pieces to the LIVE AUCTION on Saturday night of the symposium (October 11). This is a chance for that specially crafted piece to be in someone else’s collection.

 We also ask and need donations to the SILENT AUCTION on Saturday afternoon. This is a great opportunity to share new and used tools, equipment, special wood blanks, and other woodshop items. Other craft items are favorably accepted also.

 All proceeds from both auctions help to defray costs of the event and contribute to the operation and maintenance of our Learning Center which benefits all OVWG members.

 Please bring your donations to the symposium with you as well as a description with your name on a piece of paper. If you are unable to attend but wish to donate, let me know. We can arrange to pick up your item(s) at the Learning Center and have them safely transported to the symposium.
