Second Annual Craft Fair!

This year the Second Annual Handmade Holiday Craft Fair will take place on Saturday, November 19 from 10 am - 4 pm at TC Williams HS (3330 King St. Alexandria, VA). There will be over 40 local handmade crafters, club-run food booths, and athletic fundraisers! This event raises money for Joining Hearts and Hands, a Fairport, NY organization that promotes educational and economic improvements in Kenya and Tanzania.  Last year, the craft fair raised $1,600 which helped build a form four classroom in Tanzania for the Usumbara Girls HS!
Come support the wonderful students at TC Williams HS as they hope to put on an even better show this year!
