Here's an odd request: We need help supplying THOUSANDS of Tree Cookies for our 2024 programs. Do you have trees/branches, a chop-saw, and a drill? We use over 4,000 yearly for nametags, environmental ed programs (like KinderCritters), crafts and more. Any hard wood and any cross-cut showing tree rings works ideally for us. Cut 'em, drill 'em, deliver 'em, or call with questions (540-992-2940). THANK YOU!
