Northwestern Michigan Woodturners Club joined residents on the patio at Cherry Republic Tuesday night.  David Watt, pictured on the right is one of the woodturners and helped organize the event.IMG_1977 The bowls pictured above were donated by woodturners for people to purchase by simply writing a thank you note and making a donation to the "Re-Arbor Glen Arbor" fund. The bowls all came from local trees which fell during the August 2nd storm.
