Schedule Change for the Holiday!
Note that there are no classes on Friday, July 3rd so everyone can prepare for the holiday on Saturday!

Kids' Programs Began This Week
All kids' activities - camp, Junior Activity Nights, Pre-teen movies and drop-ins and Mom/Dad and Toddler sessions are kicked off this week. Stop in and join the fun.

Book Club Schedule Change
Please note that the TEIA Book Club will meet on Tuesday, July 7th, not the 30th as stated in the calendar.

Color of Peaks Art Show
The show kicks off on next Friday! More than twenty Peaks Island artists will exhibit at the Sixth annual Color of Peaks Art Show, opening with a reception July 10th from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the TEIA clubhouse. The Friday night reception and Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. showing are open to the public (and you can get ready for the Saturday viewing by stopping at the Pancake Breakfast that morning).

In addition to featuring paintings, drawings, photography and sculpture, the scope of the show has expanded this year to include ceramics and pottery. This year the emphasis is on more affordable art with all pieces priced at $500 or less. Artists are encouraged to exhibit works that cover a variety of sizes, media and price ranges, making great work by local artists more available to everyone. "I like to think of it as a 'Christmas in July' event," says Jean Gulliver. "It's a great opportunity to buy special gifts for family and friends who love the Maine coast – and to support the artists who live and work on Peaks."

All donations collected at the wine and appetizer tables during the opening night reception go to support the Friends of TEIA programs. The Friends' programs include funding scholarships for year-round island children to participate in tennis, sailing and other activities at TEIA. We’ll see you there.

The Friends of TEIA
Now in sixth year, The Friends of TEIA, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization continues to dedicate itself to raising funds for the support of the youth educational programs at the Trefethen Evergreen Improvement Association.

All funds received by The Friends, except for necessary costs, are used solely to benefit TEIA youth educational programs for the children on Peaks Island. This year, The Friends invited other islanders to join them in their mission to improve the lives of island children through sailing, tennis, and other educational programs at TEIA, and we welcome their insight and energy.

The Friends also offers scholarships for the Tennis Program, which provides lessons to children, and for the Kids’ Camp for children ages 6-and older. In fact, we are working on identifying island children that would benefit from one or all programs, and we ask that you give your ideas to Barbara Hoppin, who is coordinating this effort. Our goal this year is to offer at least a dozen scholarships totaling approximately $3000.

If you are able to support The Friends of TEIA, please send your tax deductible donation to the following:
