Our dear friend Rickey McKenna has been battling diabetes which has taken a toll on Rick’s body these past four years. In the fall of 2022, Rick was the recipient of a liver transplant from his dear friend, Vaughn Smith. Rick’s recovery has been challenged by many complications including needing a kidney transplant and dialysis three times a week, his liver being rejected, bilateral leg amputations, and multiple infections. Rick has been receiving his care at Lahey Hospital in Burlington, Massachusetts with his wife Dina by his side since February where he continues to be an inpatient. During this time Dina has been away from work on family medical leave. As they navigate the next steps in Rick’s wellness journey, traveling, hotels, meals, and expenses have been adding up.
What can we do? We are having a fundraiser to help offset some of these expenses so that the burden does not land on them. We will be collecting items for a silent auction, weather permitting there will be a cornhole tournament at the benefit for Rick on Friday, June 14th, 5-9 at Chadwick’s Craft Spirits, with all proceeds to assist the McKenna family during this difficult time.
We would love to see as many of Rick's friends and family as possible! Come show your support and love for Rickey. It will be a great evening of friends and family rallying around one of the best!
Come on out to Chadwick’s Craft Spirits/Doom Forest Distillery on June 8th for a class in carving and whittling wood. Whittling is fun, inexpensive, can be done everywhere, (ok perhaps not on a plane), and anyone can do It.
The class is from 1:30 to 3pm. The cost is $12.00 for those whittling and $5.00 for those who just want to sit and learn. The class size for those using the knives is limited to 15. All wood is provided but the student is required to bring a very sharp knife with a blade no longer than 1.5” and a protective glove for the off hand. SIGN UP HERE - Sign up here
The class will cover in brief: wood anatomy, wood selection, knife types and selection. And a bit on knife sharpening. Just enough to get us started, then the fun starts and we hope for some of you, the beginning of a lifelong addition. You will learn basic cuts and how to use them, grips, and "oops I screwed up! now what do I do?!" Hopefully, you will leave the class a completely whittled wizard. Skip will also have a stack of resources both printed and online for you to look at after the class.
To sign up, please use the form below. If you have any questions regarding signing up, please contact Laurel (doomforestsales@gmail.com) at Chadwick’s. If you have any questions about the class, please contact Skip Harvey at thehikingwoodworker14@gmail.com. Skip will have a few options for knives and all are inexpensive if you want to buy, (there are many sources) and he may offer sharpening before the class depending on how many need the service. This will be at no charge.
