Help - art supplies needed

I got an email from Denise Morris this morning.  She has gotten a request for help with obtaining art supplies for a student at Anoka Ramsey.  This student is a neighbor of potter Bob Briscoe who lives down by Harris, MN.

Being the soft-hearted person she is, Denise asked if we could post the supplies list here on the blog to see if any of you might have some of the needed items laying around no longer in use.  So if you have any of these items that you no longer use and would like to donate them to an art student, please let Denise know.  Her email address is dsmorris at q dot com (remove spaces, etc.) or give her a call. She can pick up donations at the KCAA meeting on Monday.  Thanks!

Here's the Supply list:
Paints:
Winsor Newton: artisan water fixable oil colour
Titanium white, ivory black, yellow ochre, raw umber, cadmium yelllow light, cadmium yellow medium, cadmium red light, cadmium red medium, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, viridan (or thalo green)
