Kathy Hamlyn Chase, WHS 69, was featured as a "Mover & Shaker" recently in the York County Coast Star.

Raising Money for Scholarships
WHSAA held a Scrapbook Crop on Saturday, April 2, 2011, at Jonathan's Restaurant in Ogunquit. The crop was attended by 15 serious scrappers. The event started at 10 a.m. and ran until 10 p.m. The day was filled with delicious food, fabulous door prizes and hours of scrapbooking fun. The event raised $325 for the scholarship fund. Thanks to Jonathan West and Jonathan's Restaurant for their continued support of this event. We're planning another Scrapbook Crop for spring 2012. Remember, anyone can scrapbook. There are no mistakes, just opportunities to embellish!
We Need You!
WHSAA can use some help with ideas and activities. We meet at WHS once a month from Sept. to June. Contact us for more information.
