“For the Kids Auction”
As some of you may recall, I was chair of the “For the Kids Auction” for 7 years ending in 2012. During that time the Auction netted close to $1million to support the good work of the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre [OCTC.]. Since that time OCTC has amalgamated with Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario [CHEO] and the auction continues. The event will take place at the Infinity Centre in Ottawa on Wednesday April 10, 2019.
I am very pleased to have rejoined this effort by becoming a member of one of its committees
In past years members of the Valley Woodturners have very generously contributed items to the auction and have been an important part of its success. Sam Lewinstein has continued to donate items over the intervening years having contributed over 100 wood turnings over the life of the event. He was honored by OCTC/CHEO a few years ago for his dedication and generosity.
I would enthusiastically encourage members to participate once again by donating a woodturning to the upcoming event. We will be pleased to display your card or other contact information with your piece.
Thank you for this.

Our Vice-President, Celine Duguay, came across an interesting woodworking site that published the very impressive work of our friend and member, Michel Bertrand. It's always great to see our members' work getting recognition. Keep up the great work Michel! Click here to view the article with pictures of his work.
