The Quarrytown.net Team is deeply committed to community service and has taken on the hobby of making signs using authentic license plate letters which are applied to recycled wood from old furniture.
Each sign can be hung on the wall or posted utilizing an easel. Most signs are donated to local charities to help raise much needed funding to support programming – most notably the Cleveland Children’s Dyslexia Center (a Scottish Rite Charity) which offers free tutoring to children with dyslexia.
Customs orders can be arranged.
