Looks like a great idea but is the BOC still in operation? I have several that I would like to donate along with others in my club.
Not trying to highjack the thread but this may be a good time to see if there is any activity on the BOC.

Really neat box, Don. What did you use for the dripping 'hunny'? Colored epoxy, hot melt glue? I don't imagine yellow glue or a wax would work or last very long. Just curious. Thanks.

BOC is a national organization. You can send bowls to them for distribution. However there are sometimes programs at a local level not on the national list. We have established a relationship with local children's hospital and donate direct to them but let national know how many we donate annually.

Thank You. Amazing Quick Coat epoxy colored with yellow alcohol ink and a yellow epoxy pigment.

I knew that :p Our former president who unfortunately is no longer with us would spend a few weeks in Arizona during the winter and would deliver the boxes to the main office. The cost to ship them can get a little out or hand, but since the majority of our members are retired there maybe would be someone else driving there this winter.
