What Do You Bring to the Table?



While master furniture craftsmen Lars and Jason Dressler will be designing and building our new table, your job is to recall at least one story that defines and inspires your YMCA community.  The story must make a connection to an artifact that can become part of the table, such as a piece of wood, metal, glass or even an ornamental object.  Think:
  • furniture
  • sports equipment
  • building materials
  • trophies, medals, pins
  • natural resources (that have been harvested responsibly)
The deadline for your submission is December 31, 2010.
