The Big Sweet
I have a friend, whose child is in this band and they are really really good. How many of you would make the effort to go see them in the Old Port, if he can get them a booking? They are called "The Big Sweet" and are from Ohio and already have a following and their own CD. Do you think we can find (50) people to attend?

The Cinderella Project
Hi All,
Perhaps you've heard about it already, but, I've just become aware of "The Cinderella Project". It's a wonderful program where formal dresses and accessories are collected and made available to young women across the state to make their prom night, "a night to remember".
Prom time can be a wonderful experience for teens, but, it can also be wrought with feeling of inadequacy and self-doubt. Prom attire can be costly and many families, feeling the economic pinch of these times, can barely afford necessities let alone formal attire for one night.
The Cinderella Project allows us to be "Fairy Godmothers" to teens who may not be able to afford the transforming feeling of belonging as an equal, on one very special night of their young lives.
This is the 4th year of the project here in Maine. Gowns and other attire will be given away to any young lady from the State of Maine with the one stipulation that the girl must do a good deed for someone else.
This year's event will be held from 10am-6pm at Reny's Plaza in Belfast, Maine on Saturday, April 10th, 2010. It is first come, first served.
Sought after items include: "Gently" used Gowns or Dresses, Accessories, Jewelry (of course), Shoes, and unopened Make-up.
Many of you have commented to me that you love beading so much that you have a surplus of finished jewelry and don't know what to do with it all. Well, here's a chance to put it to good use and make a young lady feel like a fairy princess for one night. (And you'll feel so good that your own glow will outshine the bling that you bring).
BEADS ON THE KENNEBEC HAS volunteered to be the drop spot for the Central Maine area. My husband Brian will transport the items to Belfast on his daily commute. Items need to be dropped off here at the shop, no later than 5:00 pm on Thursday, April 8th. If you wish to make the trip to Belfast yourself, donations will even be taken at the door on the day of the event. If you wish to volunteer, you may contact: Mandie Sawyer at: mailto:msawyer@waldocap.org .
Here are some other links for additional information: http://cinderellaprojectmaine.webs.com , http://www.facebook.com/cinderellaprojectmaine..
Thank you in advance to any of you who are willing to "Wave Your Magic Wands" (dig in yours or your daughter's closets) and help create a magical evening for a budding princess.
Come on fellow Godmother's, I know we can do it!
Thank You,
Linda from Beads on the Kennebec!
