From Jo-Ann Grimwood  


Craft an African Mask Workshop Fundraiser

To raise money for a daycare in South Africa

Help us help the children, while making a mask, (using paverpol products), to keep for your self, as a gift or to auction off.

Jo-Ann Grimwood and Brenda Topley will be joining forces to try to help out the Khulakahle Day Care in S. Africa.  Approx. 60 kids, (newborn to 4 yrs), are dropped off at the crèche (in a 2 room building approx. 20' x 20') with only 2 staff. The building is stifling hot!  So in Dec. Jo-Ann & Scott sent over $1600, to build a fence for the kids by Feb. ( link *1)Their next goal is to assist in getting some liquids for the kids to drink while at the daycare.

So at the Black Sheep Design Studio, ( link *2),we are going to have a fundraiser on the morning of Sat. Jan. 29, 2011. Come & make a mask on canvas, *3, (or try 2 small mardi gras masks). The 1/2 day class will be 9:30am - 12:30pm. Cost only $65.00 for the short canvas 11 x 14 & $70.00 for the 12 x 36 one. Brenda will donate $30.00 from each student.  Your canvas (or masks) will be ready to take home the same day. To book a seat in the workshop, contact Brenda Topley at 403-885-0476 or e-mail brendatopley@me.com / www.bstdesignstudio.com  Both Visa & M/C accepted.
