Have you ever wondered what to do with all those family pictures you've been saving for years? Are you new to scrapbooking or are you an old pro? Either way, we'd love for you to join us for 12 hours of scrapbooking fun. We're organizing a scrapbooking crop as a fundraiser for our scholarship fund. We have room for 50 scrappers and all of their stuff. All scrappers will have their own space to spread out pages and get to work.
Coffee, tea, soda and snacks will be provided throughout the day. Dinner will be served at 5pm. Representatives from Stampin Up and Creative Memories will be joining us for the day and will have some supplies on hand for sale or you can place an order. We will have hourly drawings for great scrapbooking products and a "grand prize" drawing at the end of the day.
For more information and to reserve your spot, please call Vicki Tufts at 207-646-5619.

How can YOU help us in our goal of providing scholarships for Wells High School alumni? We raise money through various fundraisers and can use help with them. We were fortunate to profit from Gary Leech's generous offer to work on a public cookout last summer which raised $1298.50 for our scholarship fund, but we need help at such events. And we are delighted when alumni sponsor scholarships or make donations in memory of someone or just make donations. Contact us for more information on how YOU can help.
