www.trianglewoodworkers.com 25 YEARS Remaining 2010 Workshop Dates Oct 9 #2 Terry Tenhouse N. Raleigh TWA TOYS FOR TOTS Oct 16 #2 Diane Philyaw Creedmoor Oct 23 #3 Terry Tenhouse TWA News One of my favorite jobs as a part of the Toys for Tots Oct 30 #3 Diane Philyaw Creedmoor Committee is calling folks to sign-up for workshops. Last Nov 6 The Woodworking Shop Klingspors Raleigh month I reported that I needed almost 50 more elves for our Creedmoor and Klingspor workshops. I called most that Nov 10 #4 Terry Tenhouse have helped in the past and the support was heart warming. Nov 20 #4 Diane Philyaw Creedmoor All workshops are currently fully manned. Dec 4 #5 Diane Philyaw Creedmoor

Mike Reddyhoff is also very much a part of the sign-up Dec 14 TUESDAY T4T Pickup Salem Baptist Church process and has had excellent results. Between Mike and I there are still a few willing helpers that could not be matched 6 to our workshop schedule and quite a few more we did not call. For all of you, please consider making a few toys in your own shops and please follow the guide lines below. www.trianglewoodworkers.com In recognition of our 25th year of Toys for Tots support we are going to have a Banquet for our December 14th General Meeting. The location is the banquet hall of the Salem Baptist Church in Apex. We held a banquet in the facility a few years back. Bruce Wrenn has secured the hall - free of charge. The church is making this donation because they would like to support our effort. The board has approved funds to support all other expenses for all participating in the Toys for Tots program. Therefore if you have attended any workshop or made a toy to contribute you may attend free of charge. If for some reason you just can not make a toy - purchased toys will always be accepted.

One bit of bad news. Diane Philyaw is forbidden (by her family & her doctors) from participating this year because of some rather serious health issues. She has given us the shop for 4 weekends to keep the dream going. Prayers are welcome for her speedy recovery. All who are attending the Creedmoor dates will need to give an extra push to help close some of the gap left by her absence. We all love you Diane so get well soon and we hope to see you at our banquet that was your original idea.

Keep the moving and let us make this a great year. It is our 25th year but more than that, it is a year in which many more are without jobs and means to suport their families. We hope and need to give as much as we can.

THIS IS A MUST READ FOR ALL MAKING TOYS IN THEIR ON WORKSHOP TRIANGLE WOODWORKERS ASSOCIATION Consumer Product Safety and Improvement Act GuidanceJuly 2010

This document provides requirements for club members who participate in the various toy making projects to make toys to be donated to the Toys for Tots Program. It provides information on how to comply with the Consumer Product Safety and Improvement Act and the related laws as best we can understand for now. The regulations pertaining to the law are still being drafted and will not be fully implemented until February 10th, 2011. For 2010 toys donated must meet the following requirements. No finish or coloring of any kind can be applied to the toys. This includes , wax, stains, decals, tape, vegetable oil, etc. No means No. No small unattached parts or toys. All toys and unattached parts must not be able to fit through a toilet paper tube. We may use natural products such as wood or leather. may be used, must be contained with no sides showing or accessible by a child. It is likely that we will be required to mark the toys for identification of TWA as the manufacturer. More detail to follow. This law applies to all toys donated or sold. Any toy not in compliance will not be accepted for donation. It is expected that many small companies will go out of business and donated toys will be far fewer next year. We can only hope that when the regulations are published they do not have the serious unintended consequences currently anticipated. Toymakers Alliance is trying to make some sense of all this. If you would like to help in the effort you can contact them at http://www. handmadetoyalliance.org/
