 | High School Musical Outreach   This is short-notice, but a nice opportunity if you're looking to experience some great music tomorrow evening.    WSOC High School student, Stephanie Burritt, is a member of an outreach youth ministry group which provides musical experiences for at-risk youth in O.C.  In fact, Stephanie's abilities on the cello and volunteer efforts earned her a full scholarship to the month-long summer program at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.     Stephanie is part of the entertainment group playing Friday, October 5, 7:30PM at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.  The program is titled "A Musical Journey through the Americas featuring Latin Lazz, Orchestral, Tango, and R&B."  Tickets are $7.  For more information or to purchase tickets, visit http://www.sapres.org/concerts/     Congratulations on your efforts and scholarship Stephanie.     |

So far this year we have made gnomes, dry felted, crocheted and marbleized paper. Next week we will felt pictures and mount them into frames that will be mosaic the following week.  We also ask that each participant make a small picture that will be donated to the Elves Workshop for the Winter Festival.   Christine Newell (Handwork teacher) is offering a 16in Heirloom Waldorf Doll workshop for 4 consecutive Mondays (October 8th, 15th, 21st, 28th) again no experience necessary. Total cost including materials $85.
