For those who may have missed the information, Dave Peebles, AAW Member and friend, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Dave has no medical insurance.

Ellis Walentine of WoodCentral has set up a Benefit Auction to raise money to help with Dave's treatment. Many turners, including David Ellsworth, John Jordan, and Steve Worcester have donated pieces to the auction.

If members here would like to participate by bidding or donating, you may go to

Dave's in a tough spot and needs our community's help.
