Athens County Women’s Art Guild
are having a an art sale called
“Buy you Momma Some Art”

There will be local vendors who have made some beautiful original art that will be sure to make great gifts for mothers and daughters to remember the special time they had on Mom’s Weekend 2011.

Please stop by and see handmade tiles, jewelry, fiber arts including yarn and recycled wool handbags, pottery and much more.

The show is free and open to the public.

Donations will be made to the Ohio University Women’s Center by the artists to help support the continuation of support and information for the women at Ohio University and the surrounding communities.

Please Help!

A.L.P.A.C.A. has the opportunity to provide a fun community service for Athens area young families. On Saturday, May 7, 2011, we have agreed to run a kids arts table at the Birth Circle Pregnancy and Baby Fair. It will be held at the Market on State from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. We plan to help kids make Mother's Day cards. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to give back to the community that helps keep us doing what we do! It is a short day - only 5 hours and you can volunteer for whatever amount of time you have available. ALPACA will provide the craft supplies. We just need the volunteers to work with the kids.

Please seriously consider helping out for whatever amount of time you have available on that Saturday! This is an easy and fun way to give back!

Please email me if you can help!

Many thanks,
Kirsten Trachsel
Vice-President - ALPACA
