Stephen King
Few public figures have brought attention to Maine quite like author Stephen King. Over the past 41 years, the prolific and internationally beloved author has written over 50 books and hundreds of short stories. Many of his most famous novels have been set in Maine, driving tourism to the state—his Bangor home is now widely considered a tourist attraction. But while most people know his fear-inducing fiction, many are unaware of King’s extensive charity work.
In 1986 King and his wife, Tabitha, founded the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation to provide financial support for Maine communities and community services. The foundation awards multiple grants per year, ranging from $500 to $50,000. Past donations have included $50,000 to the Dyer Library in Saco, $50,000 to Telstar High School in Bethel, $50,000 to the Winterport Memorial Library—and the list goes on.
While King routinely gives thousands of dollars to schools, libraries, and nonprofits, the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation made news in 2013 when it pledged $3 million to the Bangor Public Library, which was planning a $9 million modernization. King also vocally supports the Coalition for a Safer Maine, an organization that seeks stricter gun control laws. King has spoken out about the issue of gun safety in Maine, and in April 2013, he made a “substantial donation” to the coalition. King told the Associated Press that the gift was “five figures” but wouldn’t comment further. “Charity’s supposed to be a private thing,” he said.

I think I'm going to try to make the bread basket again . . .start small and see how it turns out. The ones we made back then in art class held up a very long time and they were beautiful.
I've made many, Madam- use a clear acrylic spray paint when you are finished. It will make it last longer. I have one my mom made that is was made in 1980 (she put dates on all her crafts)
Let me know how it turns out. I may give it a try too.

Look at that ugly, beautiful thing.
This is one mean looking turkey
Such great use of space.
So cute , but if they wanted to discourage marmoset trade, they should've found some violent fungusy marmoset and not one so cute. Everyone will want one after they see that!
Hehe true, but the linked article does say DO NOT buy a marmot, just see one at a wildlife center so it does recognize the problem and discourage the usage of marmots for personal pleasure! 
But if I had a marmot I would totally buy it a tooth brush and go to town.
EDIT: Actually, I looked and I didn't post the discouraging link, but here it is
