Feed Our Scholars (FOS) is excited to announce a fun event to raise funds for its mission of providing bags of weekend food for participating Wiscasset Elementary School students. On Friday, May 2, from 6 to 8 pm. at St. Philip’s Church Lippiat Hall, 12 Hodge St., Liz Murphy at Ello Sunshine Events who led the paint-your-pet night, is back to guide participants through creation of a whimsical flowery vase just in time for a possible Mother’s Day present or a vase to add to your personal collection.

For a suggested donation of $30, participants will receive the materials and instruction to create their lovely vase. To help bouy flagging energies from the process of creation, FOS has a scrumptious dessert table for painters, as well as tea, decaf coffee, and water to quench thirst. A sweet floral centerpiece care of Water St. Flowers and Gifts will be a special prize for some lucky painter.

In its 11th year of providing weekend nutrition for little learners, Feed Our Scholars is an all-volunteer group committed to helping support a positive start for local budding scholars. As well as its nutrition program, FOS also spearheads the August Set for Success event when student-required school supplies are provided to all Wiscasset students regardless of ability to pay. All monies raised are dedicated to these initiatives.

Space is limited to 30 participants. To reserve a place, call St. Philip’s at 882-7184, leaving a name, number of tickets reserved, and a return phone number for verification, or contact the committee via email at feedourscholars@gmail.com.

Unleash your inner da Vinci and join in the fun on May 2.
