2. Art Show at Downtown Starbucks
On the 27th of April, the Ink Oasis hosted an Art show and art sale at the Starbucks at downtown
Andover. The event, which lasted for three hours, attracted many people to donate to our cause.
Jennifer Fan gave demonstrations on that day and the Ink Oasis board helped sell our paintings,
postcards, and hand-painted cards. We raised $418 that day, advancing us closer to our goal.

original aim of combining art with social service. We plan to hold the following events in the near future:

painting, we plan to hold regular open art classes at the Memorial Hall Library. It will take place for on a
