Club Community Service Project
From the President (2024-25):
"I was contacted by a representative from the Arizona Woodturners Association asking if our club would be interested in turning wig stands for local cancer patients undergoing treatment. They have been working with eBeauty, a company that provides wigs and wig stands for cancer patients, and they have been looking for a local club to serve patients in our area.
Your board has been looking for an opportunity to do some community service, and felt like this was a great option.
We have a couple of documents and a drawing with some basic dimensions, and examples of wig stands, for your reference. Be as creative as you want to be. There is no specific timeframe for completion of the wig stands, but we encourage everyone who is interested to turn as many as you can. As we collect the wig stands, we will deliver them to eBeauty. The AAW website also has some instructions for wig stands.
We feel like this is a great opportunity to show our club’s talent and willingness to serve our community."

Your time and effort invested in the Wig Stand Project is not only being appreciated by the patients, but also by the medical professionals engaged full time in the treatment of cancer.
