Hi again,
I spoke about UMEM at the UM Foundation Dinner last evening. This group was so welcoming and excited about the work we do in western Maine. I met some wonderful people who were just learning about us as well as some old friends. UMEM received a $2,000 grant from the foundation in 2009 that we used to establish the craft/warming center. The support from the foundation has allowed us to realize our dream of helping local crafters with the production, marketing and sales of their crafts. We are still in the beginning stages, but we have generated some excitement and local folks are coming in to check us out.
The warming center will be open tomorrow from 10-3 with Doris Stone as our hostess. We will be teaching crafters to work with wire to make pins, suncatchers, etc. Next week we may get out the sewing machines, who knows!
Till next time,
Kay
