(NewsUSA) - America has a long history of volunteerism, and for 20 years one company encouraged such efforts with the Community Craftsman Award. It has given grants for projects like an afterschool wood-finishing jobs-training program and a guild program to design, build and finish beds for children with special needs.
Now, the reward has been renamed the Minwax Do Good With Wood Award. It recognizes the very different ways people express themselves by working with wood. The program is open to anyone who has been involved in a wood-finishing project, through school woodshop classes, clubs, guilds, parent organizations, DIY groups, craft or hobby groups or on their own.
