May is the beginning of our next fundraiser….something
near and dear to us. One of our members,
Carrie, has a very rare incurable lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis; or LAM for
short. There are only 1500 people worldwide
known to have this progressive disease and all of them women in their
childbearing years. As the disease
progresses the lungs deteriorate until a transplant is needed. Funding has been reduced drastically and in
an attempt to help raise funds for research, The Wade Creek House and hundreds
of others across the country, are sponsoring a fundraiser called “Chairs for
Charity.” Here chairs are created by local
artists and individuals and donated for a silent auction. These chairs will be on display at The Wade
Creek House beginning May 17th with the silent auction June 1st. If you would care to donate a chair you
created, give us a call at 503-630-7556.
This is a tax deductible donation and all money raised from this auction will be donated to the LAM Foundation. Please join Carrie and the rest of the members on June 1st
for our silent auction… music and refreshments will make this a wonderful day.
Other things happening this month include:
May 4 - Twisted Twig Obelisk Trellis
May 8 - Gathering of UFO's (unfinished objects class)
May 11 - Beginning Concrete Leaf Casting Workshop
May 17 - Viewing begins for "Chairs for Charity"
and will continue until June 1st.
See details for this events in the left column or call the
shop with any questions.
