What happens when Friends of Mongo get together? We have fun!
On Sunday, Nov. 8, The Scrap Exchange celebrated our Friends of Mongo members with an appreciation party featuring live screen printing by Durham artist Bill Fick of Super G.
Members selected blank T-shirts and watched Bill print them on the spot., turning a membership benefit into a little work of art. Bill even shared a creative tip: A light spray of diluted bleach can transform the color of the shirt while leaving the black printed design intact.
The celebration also gave members a chance to pick up their Scrap Packs of Surprises, $20 coupons and Friends of Mongo windshield clings. The clings identify members who enjoy the special privilege of donating reusable materials on Sundays, when donation drop-off is reserved for Friends of Mongo.
There was time for a wee Mongo craft, a little snack and plenty of Scrappy camaraderie.
Friends of Mongo is The Scrap Exchange's sustaining membership program in Durham, North Carolina, supporting creativity, environmental awareness and community through reuse.
