The Andover Service Club (ASC) has been in the process of organizing one of its most exciting fundraisers – the “Welcome Spring” Arts and Crafts Show and Sale on Saturday, May 7, from 10 AM to 3 PM at AE/MS. This fundraiser is to benefit the ASC Merit Scholarship Fund. Admission is free, but freewill donations will be gratefully accepted. As an added attraction, homemade baked items will also be for sale.

Many years ago, ASC sponsored craft fairs at the Christmas season. Members met during the year to create the items that were sold at the fair.

Now, this “Welcome Spring” show has 33 vendors from Andover and many surrounding towns, as well as ASC members. Participation by the public is needed to make this event a success. So we hope to see everyone on May 7.

April Meeting

On April 13, the ASC members met at the Highland Lake Grange Hall. On the agenda were the usual business reports, refreshments, and the annual in-house auction.

The next general meeting will be on Wednesday, May 11, at 10 AM in the Highland Lake Grange Hall. Storyteller Lauretta Phillips will be the special guest speaker.

Any woman who would like to become a member of the Andover Service Club is welcome to attend this meeting. You will meet wonderful women who dedicate their time and effort to support their community in many ways, while enjoying the friendships they make along the way.

In June, scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors and/or continuing education college students. Your continued support for fundraisers, such as the Arts and Craft Show, Thanksgiving Pie Sale, and Fourth of July Pie Slices for Scholarships is very important. Thank you for your generosity – it is sincerely appreciated!
