After years of hiding in our homes from COVID infection, Feed Our Scholars (FOS) is excited to announce a fun in-person event to raise funds for its mission of providing bags of weekend food for participating Wiscasset Elementary School students. On Friday, Feb. 10 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. (snow date, Sunday, Feb. 12 at 2 p.m.) at St. Philip’s Church Lippiat Hall, 12 Hodge St., Sue Begin of Cre8tive Events, who has led past FOS paint nights, is back to guide participants through creation of a whimsical Valentine-inspired pink jalopy picture.
For a suggested donation of $30 for adults and $20 for children under 12, participants will receive the materials and instruction to create their cheerful autos. To help bouy the flagging energies from the process of creation, FOS is planning a scrumptious dessert table for painters, as well as tea, decaf coffee, and water to quench thirst.
Feb. 10 happens to coincide with Wiscasset’s annual Father-Daughter Dance at Wiscasset Community Center, down the street and around the corner from St. Philip’s. Moms and siblings, after dropping off dad and little sister for their special evening, drive on over and have your own bit of fun: painting, chatting, laughing and eating Valentine treats.
In its 10th year providing weekend nutrition for little learners, Feed Our Scholars is an all-volunteer group committed to helping support a positive start for local budding scholars. As well as its nutrition program, FOS also spearheads the August Set for Success event when student-required school supplies are provided to all WES students regardless of ability to pay.
All monies raised are dedicated to these initiatives.
Space for the painting event is limited, so to reserve a place, call St. Philip’s at 882-7184, leaving a name, number of tickets reserved, and a return phone number for verification, or email the committee at pakngo@comcast.net.

Unleash your inner da Vinci and join in the fun on Feb. 10.
