Join us at Hessel School House, Saturday, August 30 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM for the 4th Annual Arts & Crafts Supply Swap! Swappers must bring their own bags for the supplies they would like to take. You may take as much or as little as you want whether you donated items or not. Swappers are invited to make a $10 donation to support Hessel School House – Avery Arts & Nature Learning Center programs.
When the Swap ends, our volunteers will pack up any remaining supplies and save them for the next swap, use them for future classes, or donate them. Donated items MUST be in good, clean, usable condition. To eliminate the volume of waste we have to throw away, all items will be inspected before they are accepted for the swap. Questions? Call Hessel School House 906-484-1333.
