The Strawberry Festival Goes Green
Friday, May 30th, 2008
The strawberries will still be red but the Strawberry Festival is going GREEN!
The Strawberry Festival Committee has announced that they will serve Strawberry Shortcake and Cheesecake on biodegradable bowls, plates and spoons. They have collaborated with BIOSMART- a company that sells “Bagasse” tableware derived from the by-product of sugar cane. In order to promote these biodegradable products, BIOSMART is offering Strawberry Festival visitors a promotional deal to introduce their products to Maine.

Over the past 32 years, the Festival Committee has provided over $150,000 in grants and scholarships to the local community and MHS students. The Festival also supports South Berwick non-profit organizations giving them a venue to earn money for their respective groups.
The Strawberry Festival Committee thanks the hundreds of community volunteers and non-profit organizations for all their hard work. Their volunteer hours have been crucial in making the Festival such a success.

Want to do something to help a neighbor? South Berwick Volunteer Network (SBVN) needs volunteer drivers. SBVN is a nonprofit organization that offers free transportation to local residents who need a ride to medical appointments. Usually, drivers are assigned one day per month (M-F). The average appointment requires about 2 hours of volunteer time. More residents need the service so the current volunteers are doing double duty. They could really use your help.
