The Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center is hosting a Scrapbooking Crop on Saturday, September 14, 2019 at the school site across from the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds in Leonardtown. It takes place from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the school’s Dorhman Room. This event benefits the school’s SkillsUSA chapter but is being put on by the Ridge Lion’s Club. The cost is $45 if you paid on or before August 24. If you pay on or after August 25, the cost is $50. The event includes breakfast snacks, lunch, dinner, a raffle, ½ table space, vendors and table buddies. Please bring gently used scrapbook items, paper and stamps for the brown bag portion. Non-perishable food items will also be collected for local food pantries. For more information, go to www.facebook.com/RidgeLionsClub.
The Forrest Center’s SkillsUSA chapter is among the most successful in the state. As a result of that success, the chapter must annually fundraise over $25,000 to cover the cost of leadership training, chapter activities and regional, state & national competitions.

The event may be recorded and presented on SMCPS Channel 96, the school system’s cable channel, and the Internet.
