Join us at this year’s Create for the Cure, a silent auction to benefit the American Cancer Society. This event, which is free to the public, will be held Friday, March 31st from 5-8 pm. at Clark Advanced Learning Center located on the Chastain Campus at Indian River State College. Over the past two years, Create for the Cure has raised more than $2500 for the fight against cancer. Kodama’s annual contribution is a chess set. This year’s chess set showcases pieces crafted from cabinet knobs, nuts, bolts, and other hardware. My favorite piece is the bishop, which gently rocks back and forth when moved. A walnut burl decorates the top of the box, and the interior is lined with red leather. Kodama is also donating a tortoise shell walnut cutting board and two hand-painted outdoor napkin holders.

The Chair of the event this year is Sarah Wetterer, a senior, who tells us that several folks are already planning their bidding for this year’s chess set. In addition to Kodama’s pieces, this year’s show features wood sculptures, paintings, and a hand made quilt. Clark students not only organize the event, but also display their own art work. Tony and I are looking forward to seeing some beautiful work and chatting with students about their pieces.
The show is free and light refreshments are offered. For questions contact Clark Advanced Learning at 772-419-5750. The school’s address is 2400 SE Salerno Road in Stuart Florida. We hope you will join us this Friday to raise money for an important cause.
