New Framer in Wausau!!
I just heard from Karen Mootz. It appears she has a buyer for Dan's equipment who will be opening up a shop here in Wausau and will honor Dans prices! This is huge for those of us that don't do our own framing.
His name is David Hummer and his cell number is 715-571-6551. He isn't getting delivery of the equipment for a few days and then he is in Madison for a few days but after that he should be getting ready to go!
I'll keep the blog updated as to what happens and when!

Wall mural for United Way. From Betsy
Original e-mailHey guys...
Here is an opportunity for our WVAG to put in some community time.
I will not be at the next meeting and this is something that needs artistic attention immediately.
Emerging Leaders - a group through the United Way has a variety of ongoing community projects.
Currently they are in need of individuals that are able to draw a very large tree on a wall for a mural for a childrens room/space in the new Women's Community.
Are their any WAVG members out there willing and able to help out?
If anyone is able to help out please contact Toni Dunwoody at United Way - here is her email: tdunwoody@unitedwaymc.org
Thanks
Betsy
Original e-mail........
Hi. I am Jason’s wife, Toni. From talking to Jason it sounds like our last minute time line may not work for your group but maybe you could put an email out to see if anyone might have time in their schedule last minute to just help sketch the outline of a tree on our wall. Or if you can point us to a great site that we could find some outlines to print and blow up on an overhead projector to trace on the wall. We need to trace it by next Thursday to start painting.
The Emerging Leaders www.unitedwaymc.org/emergingleaders
is creating the Children’s Space inside the new Women’s Community. Attached is a diagram of the room. When you walk in the door there is a window to the left a long chalkboard kid height to the right and then the door going to the outside on the far wall across from the entry door.
We are going to paint grass growing up from around the base of the room. We want a tree with many branches by the door, a sun shining rays from the left corner and a darker paint with moon and stars on the wall with the window. (the window goes into a private meeting room – so if the parent has to talk to someone – the child does not have to be in the same room but they can see each other)
I am sure Jason told you, we want to have lots of animals on our wall too.
Any help or Advice is appreciated.
Thank you
Toni Dunwoody
