<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>The Maryland Art Therapy
Association (MATA) will be hosting a booth in the Target Family Art
Park at Artscape next weekend, July 17-19. We will be inviting
those who stop by to help in creating community totem poles using recycled
materials. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>If you have any art and craft
materials or simple recyclables you would be interested in donating to the
event, please let me know. I would be happy to pick up donations from area
porches or simply contact me to make other pick up arrangements/check on the
appropriateness of a donation. We'd love to have your interestingly shaped
recyclable plastics, cardboard, bottle caps, buttons, fabric and matte board
scraps, old stamps, balls of string and twine....... the list could go on
and on....as long as it could go into single stream recycling at the end.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>At the end of the weekend at the
booth, the totems will be encircled by a group of drummers, as the totems
are dismantled and recycled into single stream and into the hands of any
community members wanting to take a piece, so that the creative energy that
went into making the totems is reinvested into the community to be
recycled in new ways. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Thanks in advance for any
donations you might be able to send our way!</FONT></DIV>
