Fundraising in Full Swing for Service Club Scholarships

Thanksgiving Pies, Gifts Galore raffle

Press release

Every year, the Andover Service Club (ASC) awards merit scholarships to outstanding high school seniors and continuing-education college students. In order to fund these scholarships, fundraisers are held throughout the year.

On Tuesday, November 26 and Wednesday, November 27 at the Circle K in Potter Place, pies of every variety will be sold from 11 AM to 6 PM. These may include pumpkin, pecan, mince, and assorted fruit pies. Nine-inch pies will be sold for $9 each. The co-chairs for this fundraiser are Anne Hewitt and Judy Evans.

From now until December 10, the ASC will be selling raffle tickets for the “Gifts Galore” basket of goodies and handmade crafts at $1 per ticket. They may be purchased at the ASC Thrift Shop, the Thanksgiving Pie Sale, from ASC members, and places to be announced.

Some of the items in these baskets include maple syrup, Salmon Falls “crock,” vases, picture frames, cheese board, hand-knit mittens and socks, hand-crocheted kitchen towels, handkerchiefs, note holders, a Pampered Chef bread tube, assorted pot holders, men’s watch, fresh herbs, books, and gift certificates from local merchants. The estimated value is $400-plus.

The winning ticket will be drawn at the December 11 ASC Christmas luncheon at the Lake Sunapee Country Club. The winner need not be present. Chairlady Betsy McDonald will be assisted by ASC volunteers.
