As an aside, two small but not well-known things about Lee Valley...
1. They offer excellent workshops at relatively low costs, and the proceeds
go to United Way (they even provide lunch during their all-day workshops).
2. They have a program where you can sign a friend up for a catalogue.
Should that friend buy something from the catalogue, Lee Valley will donate
$5 to the United Way. (I'm not condoning sending junk mail to friends, but
I know at least one person who would love Lee Valley and I was planning to
send her one of my catalogues, so why not contribute to
charity--indirectly--in the process?).
