CLUB NOTES    

High County Carvers of the Flathead Valley
Mondays 6:30 P.M. in the Arts Room at Columbia Falls High School . 

The High-Country Carvers enjoyed a good year.  Fall was busy with everyone preparing for our Christmas project.  Each member donated between 10 and 15 ornaments that were sold at a popular local Bazaar and Craft Show.  All proceeds from the sale were donated to the Northwest Montana Veterans' Stand-Down Program supporting our local veterans and the Wings Program supporting local Cancer patients.  The remaining hand-carved and painted ornaments were donated to the Montana Veterans' Home for our Vets and families to enjoy.  We continued to carve throughout the winter on our personal projects and wound up for the season at the end of May.  A Carvers' picnic/BBQ is being planned for mid-Summer.

High-Country Carving members are looking forward to seeing everyone at the 10th Annual Carvers' Rendezvous that will be held at the West Glacier KOA on August 1619. 
"Keep Carving" and always "Keep Smiling".

We have begun our 10th annual Carving Angels project and we would love to have your help to meet our goal of 100 ornaments.  Many of the angels will have a star theme…stars added to the ornaments, angels holding stars…or just carved stars.  We have blanks and patterns for anyone who is interested.
