We have a new donor who appreciates=20
Phil's Bison
tools so much that he wants to share the=20
joy. Soooooooo.
Clay It Forward has three Bison tools to be
given..... one each...... to three different
recipients. The claybuds who qualify will
have an opportunity to receive a gift
certificate and a catalog from Phil's company.
Each of the three buds will then be able to choose
any one tool from the standard tools displayed
in the catalog. (Phil's catalog itself is a work
of art .... all hand done/drawn by Head #1
Bison himself... namely, Phil. Phil doesn't
recall, I'm sure, but I first saw his catalog, met
him and purchased a Bison tool in Vegas
several years ago while taking a Tom Coleman
workshop.)
Criteria for application:
1) Must be a member of Clayart ..... not
a potential bud who joins solely to be
able to apply for CIF.... or comes in from
another list, but does not belong to
Clayart.
2) Is not able to make such purchases for
now because of financial difficulties of
some standing.
3) Tell me in a brief statement how a Bison
tool would enhance your work.
In other words, these are not simply Freebies
...... first come, first served...... repeat, these
are not simply Freebies. Some need must
be present. The donor does not necessarily
have Big Bucks ...... just wants three other
claybuds, who normally would be on the outside
looking in where such tools are concerned,
to have an opportunity to own an
exquisite tool.=20
This opportunity will be open for one week.

In the Mojave where we have a couple
other Clay It Forward projects backed
up, but will take them one at a time. Keeps
me from getting even more confused.

The three lucky recipients of Phil's Bison tools......
who will each receive by snail mail from me
a catalog and gift
certificate good for one tool of choice ...... have been
selected. If you could know the backgrounds
of those selected, you'd know why they were
the three finalists.=20
It's only through the generosity of our donors
that Clay It Forward is possible. Thank you,
donors, for your altruistic deeds .... and for
allowing the rest of us to be a part of the whole
program, though vicariously. I know from past
experience that an Observer today is often a
Donor tomorrow....... heck, even a Recipient
today is often a Donor tomorrow.
Our very first donor, who solicited me to help,
has now gone on to newer, even more
challenging Life Tasks. Thank you to
you know who you are. I think of you often
and hope that others are giving you a hand
now and then as you've offered to others.
You're my bud and you're going to do well
in whatever endeavors rise up to meet you.
