The Woodworkers of Central New York hold a raffle at the New York State Fair with the proceeds of the raffle allocated to funding our educational programs. Each year, several members donate a piece for the raffle. All recipients of the raffle items were contacted by September 9th. Items were either picked up, hand delivered, or shipped to the recipients. One last item - the cane - will be delivered this week to the lucky winner in Rochester. (updated as of 9/16/19)
