Members of the Triad Woodcarvers Club display their carvings at many events each year to promote the art of woodcarving.
They also teach new members how to carve for “free.”
In addition, the Club provides classes in woodcarving for home-schooled high school students through the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program during the Spring and Fall Semesters.

This was the first year for this event. The tree will remain up until after the holidays in the lounge area of the Oncology Department for those wishing to take an ornament. Thanks to all that donated their time and effort to make this project a success!
