Fundraiser for Emme

Emme Ek, a 4th Grader at Forest Hills Elementary, was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor.

Emme has been at Doernbecher Hospital for the last month enduring many surgeries to remove the high-risk tumor.
Eventually, she will have chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Emme's mom, Nicole, has left her job at West Linn Hairport, to care for Emme at the hospital and is uncertain when she will be able to return to work. Emme's big brother, Austin, a sophomore at Lake Oswego High School, also has been at his sister's side.

It's times like these when our community must come together to help a family that needs and is grateful for our support.

Patrick Noe has helped organize a fundraiser to help out with a little monetary support for Emme and her family. He has gotten bunch of us together who are members of the Oregon Potters Association to donate some of our work to be auctioned or raffled off with all the money going to Emme's family's to help pay for their expenses.



My wife Leah and I have donated the pottery shown in the picture above. Going from left to right we have; My salt fired vase, Leah's horse hair pot, my Raku fired jar with chalkboard, and my pit fired vase. There will also be lots of great pottery from the other talented members of the Oregon Potters Association. Did I mention that there will also be LIVE BLUES MUSIC. So buy some cool homegrown Oregon art, listen to some music, have a drink, and donate to a good cause!
