Women of Excellence nominee raffles hand-made entertainment centre
One of this year’s Women of Excellence nominees is doing a little extra to promote this year’s show.
Bridget Allen, 15, is a grade nine student at Lindsay Thurber Composite High School in Red Deer and spent part of the day on Saturday selling raffle tickets to win a beautifully reclaimed wooden entertainment centre she built with her-own two hands.
A project Allen made during the Sawing for Schools initiative, described as an after-hours program for students interested in wood working, building using re-purposed trees and other environmental learning projects.
Allen says her love for wood working began in sixth grade and she’s now proud to be raffling off her hand-made entertainment centre for a good cause, the 2018 Women of Excellence Awards Gala.
