Sundre table

FROM AN EARLIER EVENT.

Here is a picture of the table that was auctioned in November 2009 to benefit the Sundre Public Library.

Members at the fall conference that year made the components on the Sunday and it was assembled the following week by Chris Waters.

Barry McElheeny of Sundre supplied the pine top.

Follow-up to the table project:

“The Sundre Library would like to thank the KBA for their contribution to the Tables for Tales charity auction. It raised $400.00 for the library.  The funds raised during the event will go to improving literature inventories. Thank-you again”.
