Wood-Tex, Going Solar?
Currently the sun is shining, the air is crisp, the nail guns are humming along and the Wood-Tex delivery trucks are heading down the road, delivering happiness to more people again just before the weekend.
Sound like a great day to be building sheds? It is!
It’s also a wonderful day to be producing our own electricity! That’s right, our saws, air compressors and computers are currently extracting their much needed AC current directly from our roof! Thankfully when they mail the electric bill and it’s only a fraction of what it used to be that’s only a figure of speech, they actually still use the same size paper, it’s just the numbers are much smaller. It would be difficult to keep track of receipts if they were that little! :)
In all seriousness why would we invest in a system that catches the sun’s rays and feeds us electric?
There’s power in numbers. From what I understand each state has differing incentives to install Solar systems, New York happens to be coming out with excellent incentives and benefits for doing so now. Tax codes, grants, incentives etc are the govt’s way of making it very easy and rewarding for you to make certain investments. Solar seems to be one such example right now.
It’s all about you. During our research stage one question kept coming to the forefront: ‘How will this affect our customers now and in years to come?’ We decided it affects you greatly but only in a very positive way. Follow me here, we no longer pay much or anything for electric. For an operation like ours this can be a substantial monthly savings! When the power companies rates go up again next year guess who’s prices do not need to follow?
Walking the Talk. We’re always looking for ways to improve efficiency, productivity and quality while minimizing our waste and environmental impact. We’re proud of the fact that our Sheds, Garages, Horse Barns, Cabins and Gazebos are built here in America and we want to do everything we can to preserve this beautiful land we’re blessed to enjoy.
We’ve all been paying for it. I guess there’s been a surcharge on my electric bill for years that I’ve never noticed. Turns out it’s to fund energy savings programs such as solar.
Bottom line is this is another way we feel we can offer you more value, savings and stability.
But enough about solar, we’ve got dreams to build!
Question: What are some ideas you have about reducing energy costs and improving savings and efficiency in your home?

The Best Christmas Ever - Part Two
2012 has rolled in; a New Year is in front of each of us! Are you dreaming of goals you want to accomplish or places you want to go? On behalf of the Wood-Tex Team, we would like to say ‘Thank You’ for the privilege of partnering with you in creating the ‘Best Christmas Ever’ at Fair Play Boys Camp.
I had the honor of finishing out my two year term of working with the boys during the Christmas Season. It was all brought to a close at the formal Christmas Banquet. Being involved in a non-profit organizationlike Fair Play seems to make the dollar value increase dramatically. A simple donation, no matter the size, can make a difference in the life of a boy, who, in turn can impact others; you never know the extent of the domino effect traveling through the generations to come. It all starts with someone supporting one boy!
The Christmas Season started out at Camp by decorating our main building call the Chuck Wagon. My group made paper chains to go all across the ceiling, draping from the fans and lights. We had a lot of fun with that! When finished, over 200 feet of paper chains graced the room. There was so much energy and spirit it felt like Christmas was already here!
“Cookie Bake Day” –boy oh boy! There are enough smells, cookie shapes, and flavors to remind anyone their taste buds are still working. This event is in preparation for our Christmas Caroling in the neighborhood. One thread that we teach all year long; that we set as a goal for how we
live, is investing in the lives of those around us, blessing them however we can. We carried the same theme into “Cookie Bake”, and when the day ended and each group had their turn cutting and decorating, we had made over 1300 cookies!
A few days later we all loaded into a school bus and went to the homes of elderly in our community, hoping to lift up their spirits by singing at the top of our lungs. It is truly amazing how the boys who come to Camp for help, can “come alive” when they are giving to others! Honestly, there is no other place that I would rather be than at Camp in a moment like that.
Now for the event that has more work put into it than any other at Camp – the Banquet! The magnitude of this event was made possible through your partnership with Wood-Tex Products and the “Best Christmas Ever”!
Every boy was dressed in either a tuxedo or dress shirt and tie. We all entered the room and were seated at the elegantly decorated tables. There were decorations on the tables, with candles accenting them. Each and every plate was eye catching. The boys loved it! The meal was excellent, served by people who have generously given of their time.
This year our guest speaker, a man who was at the right hand of Paul Harvey – the well known talk show host, told the Christmas Story, a version which Paul was famous for when broadcasting. After that there was a ceremony to acknowledge the involvement I had been privileged to be a part of at Camp. All of the activities with this season were impacted through donations. Gifts for the boys, memories of the joy instead of the trauma in their lives, food for the banquet, money for projects, and the list goes on.
Once again, thank you for your part. YOU made the difference!

The Best Christmas Ever!
Order your building by Christmas and we’ll spread the Holiday Cheer together!
This Christmas Season Wood-Tex Products is partnering with Fair Play Boys Camp, a therapeutic home for troubled boys ages 8-15. Nestled among the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in South Carolina, Fair Play Boys Camp has been offering hope for a brighter tomorrow to young lives since 1980.
This Christmas Season Wood-Tex Products is partnering with Fair Play Boys Camp, a therapeutic home for troubled boys ages 8-15. Nestled among the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in South Carolina, Fair Play Boys Camp has been offering hope for a brighter tomorrow to young lives since 1980.
For every retail structure sold from now until Christmas, Wood-Tex Products will give $100 to Fair Play Boys Camp, which will go towards providing the best Holiday Season ever for the boys and camp staff! Donations and gifts are welcome, any leftover proceeds will go to support the camp’s general operating expenses!
To join Wood-Tex Products in giving these precious souls a Christmas they will never forget, contact us at: sales@woodtex.com or call 866-966-3839 today!
But hurry! Your orders must be placed by Christmas for Wood-Tex to donate $100 to Fair Play Boys Camp from that purchase!
The following was written by Ben Lapp, formerly the Operations Supervisor at Wood-Tex Products who is now a Counselor at Fair Play Boys Camp, and will give you greater insight into the work of the camp:
“Go with me on a journey in your imagination. Let's say that you have been asked to move into this nice house your boss has bought you and told you to live out of state at a new location for the next year. Ok, fine, most of us wouldn't object. But upon your arrival you discover that the house is a brick house, still ok you might say, but the bricks have all fallen into a chaotic heap two years ago when the earthquake took place. Sound hopeless? What would happen if we would take that scenario and put it into a young boys life? Trauma seems like a pale word to describe that now doesn't it?!! This is what the work at Fair Play Camp School is all about!
Hi,I'm Ben Lapp, and I have had the tremendous privilege to be a part of the process of "rebuilding" lives of young teens for the past 22 months. The whole mission and focus is to restore these young men, who have so much potential, to the families and the futures they were created to be a part of! We live in the woods in a permanent tent type of structure and are in four
groups, with ten teen males in each group. Each of these young teens has agreed to come to receive help with living with their families and to learn how to be a part of school respecting their authority instead of degrading them. There are two "Chiefs," or counselors, in each group, and I
am one of them! Each and every part of our day hinges on two basic commitments that every single person at Camp commits to: to help ourselves, and to help others! There is so much more that can't even be put into words in writing, but just like we can't say that one certain thing other than just love changes them, so I can't describe every aspect of Camp in a way that you feel the culture of Camp. Just imagine with me again a place where there are 60-70 boys and Staff all trying to help each other work through all of our inherent problems we all face, and that is Camp!”
So join in, we can’t wait to experience the Best Christmas Ever with this deserving
organization!

Fall is here!
Hello my name is Jesse, and I am bringing you the latest news from the Wood-Tex sales team. Fall has definitely arrived here in upstate New York, the beautiful colors on the trees around us are almost at their peak, and the cool, crisp air makes for highly enjoyable days to do active things in the outdoors, such as take a horseback rideacross the countryside on your faithful stallion. We here at Wood-Tex Products strive to build and deliver Horse Barns of the highest quality, and the most affordable pricing to fit budgets of any size! I would like to introduce to you a very special deal we will be offering this year at the Equine Affair in West Springfield, MA, November 10-13. We will have a 10x20 Run In shed with a 10x8 Tack Room on display at the show for such a great, low price, that I can’t even put here online, you’ll have to come see us at booths 2913 and 2914 in the Mallary Complex South Building to find out how awesome this deal is, only available if you order at the show! This multi-use structure will serve as a great home for your horse, saddles, riding gear, and even some horse feed! You could even use it as storage for your ATV, or just a nice place to escape atorrential downpour, relaxing in your lawn chair. J The list of possible uses for the great structure goes on and on, only limited by your imagination! Remember, you can see it for yourself if you come see us at the show, and we’ll also let you in on the super deal you’d be getting if you order one just like it.
Whether this building will fit your needs, or should you need something bigger and customized to fit your favorite horse’s needs, we would love to help you out, and graciously work with you in every step of the building process. Either way, we’ll have some other great deals that will only available to those who order at the show! Hope to see you there!
