Greetings!
Summer is upon us and SCRAP is ready with a great line up of workshops, Summer Camp, Workshops for Educators, community events and more. I'm especially excited about our SCRAP Summer Camp for 11 to 15-year-olds and our three great June workshops: Artist Trading Cards, Fanciful Fascinators and ReFrame it! Sign up for a workshop with a friend and make a weekend of it.
SCRAP will also be out in the community: at the Harvey Milk Center for a donation drive, Nightlife at the Cal Academy, at the Bayview Sunday Streets, at the San Mateo County Fair and at the One Brick Social. Join us in celebrating creative reuse by volunteering at one of these events.
Since the kids are out of school, bring them to SCRAP, gather a couple of project sample ideas, and get creative with them. This month, we have revamped and renewed our party and holiday supplies section, come and grab some materials for your summer cook out, craft night or event.
Keep on Scrappin', Shuai Chen
