Hi Reusers,
Did you know? On September 25, 2015, RASE officially opened our first shop. After three locations, a global pandemic, growing pains, and moments of great joy, we have survived 10 years as an organization.
To help celebrate this amazing milestone, we wanted to prepare a little celebration with our favourite people. That's right, it's you! We are inviting you to our 10th Anniversary Craft Social and Party on Saturday, October 18 from 7:00-10:00pm at our current location (1761 Wallace Street). We will have crafting activity stations and more to be announced but this will mostly be a time to socialize and celebrate. We are excited to gather with you all to toast to our growing reuse community in Regina!
You don't need to RSVP and this event is free, but we strongly recommend you fill in our Google Form RSVP to let us know if you are coming. It will help us prepare the right amount of food, activity stations, capacity needs, and more while also allowing us to send reminders to anyone who is interested in coming: RSVP Form.
Also, you may have noticed the little cutie on our invitation. We are super proud to launch the new RASE mascot! This critter was designed by the wonderful Terri Lemire (who also happens to be one of our stellar volunteers). This raccoon inspired mascot is making off with all the precious arts and craft supplies from our shop! Catch 'em if you can! From now until the 10th anniversary party we are asking our reusers for name suggestions. You can suggest a name by commenting on our social media posts, filling in a comment in the RSVP form, emailing us at artsupplyexchange@gmail.com, and we will also have a place to offer suggestions at our party. We will take all of the names provided and our current volunteers will vote on our favourites. Go give Terri some love on Instagram and definitely hire her for your illustration work!
Thanks to all the volunteers, shoppers, donators, and supporters for 10 amazing years. I look forward to celebrating together on October 18!
Sincerely,
Erika Folnović
Executive Director
