HSV Woodworkers annual sale and donation on November 10

Instead of a parade of trucks, this year the Woodworkers wanted to show off Don Williams' saw, park of the woodworking team. The saw makes it possible for the Woodworkers to give away lots of toys to needy girls and boys during the holiday season.

Surplus toys are sold to Villagers and the proceeds are plowed back into buying materials for next Christmas' toy give-a-way.

November 10 from 3 to 8 p.m. Villagers will have the opportunity to buy gifts for the holidays at the Ouachita Room at the Ponce de Leon Center.

Every year I have found delightful gifts for my 7 grandchildren. The oldest girl loves her intricately carved jewelry box. The boys love their pull toys, boats, trucks and front end loaders. The youngest girl is just now starting to enjoy feeding her dolly in the high chair just like her own.

While there to purchase safe, American made toys you can also see the 550 toys the 75 HSV Woodworkers have created to give-a-way to local charities. The men and women of the Woodworkers believe every child should have their own gift for the holidays.

Six local charities in Garland and Saline Counties benefit from the toy give-a-way. For more information, visit http://www.villagewoodworkers.org/
