Every girl deserves at least one dress. Since October 2009, "Dress A Girl Around The World" has reached over 81 countries with a recorded number of over one million dresses delivered to girls in need around the world. Recently, we spoke with the Maine DAG Ambassador, Jane, who is in need of help with sewing menstral pads and dresses for girls in need.

We will be holding 9 sewing dates for those who are interested in volunteering their time to sew. You can stay the whole time or for a few hours; any help is appreciated. If there are more requests for sewing days, we will update that information on our website and social media. Feel free to bring a lunch with you; the sewing room at NACE has a refrigerator you can keep your food/drinks in.

We do ask volunteers to please register for the days they wish to come in and sew to be sure the sewing room and supplies are all ready.

This year, Ed Higgins’ plein air painting class is not media dependent. You may choose to work in oil, acrylics, watercolor, or pastel. Getting outside and painting from nature is our mission, choice of media is up to you and what you feel like working with on a particular day. We will meet at various scenic locations in and around the midcoast. The instructor will send the group an email with the meet up location prior to each class. In case of bad weather, we will meet at an indoor location. There is no set materials list. If you have any questions, contact the instructor directly at ed_higgins@icloud.com.

Keep the creativity flowing with Catherine in this laid-back, paint-night–style watercolor workshop! Each session brings a fresh mix of color experiments, playful techniques, and mixed media magic — think watercolor with a twist of ink, pencil, or other fun materials.

It’s all about relaxing, learning something new, and enjoying the creative process together! All materials included — just show up ready to paint and play! Each session is a standalone workshop, with a $20 materials fee due to the instructor for each session. The materials fee covers everything you’ll need.
