Resident describes plan to sell crafted items from building wood to raise funds for parks programs
Summary
A resident told the St. Marys City Council about a family project to craft items from wood salvaged from a building and sell them (about $500 each) with proceeds supporting local parks and related programs. The speaker said manufacturing partners are U.S.-based and the effort is partly intended as a life lesson for younger family members.
During the meeting a resident described a family project to craft keepsakes from wood salvaged "from one of the buildings" and to sell the finished items to raise money for local parks programs.
The speaker said the pieces would sell for about $500 each and that manufacturing partners are located in Utah; the products would be U.S.-made. The resident said proceeds from initial sales would be donated to parks programs and mentioned working with the arts department and local alumni association on future efforts. The speaker framed the project as a "good life lesson" and said the wood came from "one of the buildings," adding that the parks department had been contacted about the material in February.
Council members asked a clarifying question about price; the resident replied that the items were expected to sell for roughly $500 and that orders would be filled through their manufacturing partner. The meeting transcript does not record any formal council action, vote, or pledge of city funds related to the project.
