Thread: Woodwork Shed project to go ahead despite funding cut

Support needed:
President of the Richmond Valley Woodcrafters Club, Jim Edwards, is calling for support from the woodworking community.
The Club kicked off last year, and currently has 60 members from around the region.
The Richmon Valley Woodcrafters Club had an application with the Federal Government for $ 48000, to build a 10 X 15 M shed, fitted with woodworking machinery, in the grounds of Summerland House With No Steps, for use by members who don't have a shed, and to train interested disabled employees of the House With No Steps.
Members were dissapointed upon receiving a letter advising that the funding application they had put in would go no further.
The Club had set a target of $105.000 to build the facility, but now the equipment planned for the shed will have to be reconsidered; it is estimated the fundraising target will have to drop to about $ 69.000, of which
$ 38.500 have already been raised.
The Club is now looking for support to see the project finished; anyone who has woodworking tools or equipment they don't need is welcome to contact the club, and donors can be assured it will be put to good use, either in the shed, or sold to raise money for the project.
For more information, phone the President of the Richmond Valley Woodcrafters Club, Mr Jim Edwards, on (02)66868892.
Many thanks in anticipation.
