Dec 1 Hat Sale

CALLING ALL CRAFTERS, BAKERS, AND NICE-THING MAKERS!! It’s time to get ready for the 3d Annual Hats Off for Friends School of Portland Bazaar! This year the Bazaar will be on Dec. 1 from 10:00-2:00. It will be located at the Friends School in Carter Hall, with a fabulous display of handmade hats, mittens, and scarves, as well as other handcrafts (such as jewelry, pottery, cards, decorations), a bake sale, and a book fair. We would love to have lots of participation in donations for the sale, including from our great kids, wonderful relatives, and good friends. As in the past, we will also be donating items to Preble St. Resource Center, and there will be a specific section for particularly sturdy and warm garments for folks to purchase to donate. I will be coordinating the handcrafts, Jill Sawyer has volunteered to coordinate the bake sale, and Kim Simmons is coordinating the book fair (through Curious City and Books, Etc.). If you are able to contribute to either the handrafts or the bake sale, please contact me or Jill. Please let me know if you aren’t feeling terribly crafty, but would be willing to volunteer to work on the day of the sale. We could also use help with publicity. For more information or to contribute, contact me at lise.wagner@maine.gov or call 772-2537; for baked goods, contact Jill at jillnwill@aol.com . Thanks for your continued support of both FSP and Preble St.! Lise Wagner
