Arts and Crafts Sell

Re: Your article on the December 11, 2010 Santa Barbara City College Adult Continuing Education Arts and Crafts Faire at the Wake Center:

As the volunteer coordinator I am happy to report that the event did have an unexpectedly high turnout in both student and teacher participation, with an estimated 200-plus shoppers. There was over $13,000 in sales and more than $1,300 has been donated to the SBCC Foundation for various arts and crafts programs.

I believe we accomplished the event goals to showcase the Adults Arts and Crafts Continuing Education programs, give every student who wanted to exhibit the chance to exhibit, give shoppers outstanding bargains, and show the viability of having sale events to raise donations from those who benefit and enjoy the arts and crafts programs.
