Back in November we dropped off a bunch of doll beds and blankets to the Salvation Army. They just sent over this photo, and it looks like their team went ahead and tucked a doll into each bed before giving them out. A thoughtful little touch on their part, and pretty great to see.

Another project completed. A gentleman by the name of Len was refered to us by his neighbor to get a frame for a stained glass window. Harold put the word out and the Chaney boys took on the project. I must say the picture does not do it justice. The frame is amazinly constructed and finished. Len and his wife should be very happy with it! Thanks guys for a great job.

This year the Elgin Area Men's Shed added some skills to our team by making doll beds and wooden tops and more types of vehicles. We donated 120 various toys to the Salvation Army Angel Tree program, including gift bags and some tissue paper.
Doll bed spreads were made by ladies at area senior centers, churches and members’ spouses and both men and women at some senior centers assisted in painting both cars and beds.

Thanks to all the ladies and gentlemen that participated in this worthy cause. Hopefully these toys will put smiles on some deserving faces.

My thanks also to Paul Reardon for making sure this gets posted to our page. Thanks Paul.
