Hi Everyone In Richmond County:
The Richmond County Literacy Network located in Richmond County, Cape Breton,would like to invite you to a Rock Painting workshop! Join us through ZOOM on Monday, June 22nd from 10:00 - 12:00 as we celebrate some of our favourite books by painting rocks with scenes or characters. Our goal is to have as many rocks as possible spread throughout Richmond County waiting to be discovered, especially by our young children (see the attached poster for more info) . This two-hour workshop will be led by Ashley Dempsey of River Bourgeois and the St. Peter's Library. There is no cost - and if you need a rock or two, they can be found outside of the RCLN offices in Arichat and St. Peters.
Please share this invitation with your artistic friends and even those who aren't artistic like me. It's to be a fun event for everyone! I plan on painting the Little Penguin and, hopefully, it will have some resemblance to one! Pre-register with the RCLN at 902-226-0383, or by email me at milliehatt@hotmail.com. A link to the Zoom event will be sent directly to you. Hope to see many of you on Monday, June 22nd; looking forward to seeing some great and interesting creations!

As a literacy organization, we promote the love and joy of reading.
We now wish to witness the wonder and surprise when young children happen upon a painted rock
of one of your favorite storybook characters. Rock painting and hiding these
rocks is becoming a passionate hobby for young and old alike.

Join us in the fun and see where our rocks can travel!
To paint a rock, please use acrylic paint or markers. You may sign your rock or put your
initials only. It is not necessary to apply sealant as we will be adding
information on the back of the rock. Once completed, please drop off your rock
(s) to either our St. Peter's or Arichat locations or call the Richmond County
Literacy Network at (902) 226-0383 for pick-up.

The painted rocks will be hidden throughout Richmond County during the summer. Once a rock
is found, we will be asking that a picture be taken of the child holding the
rock and then posted to our Facebook page. We will also ask that the location
be given as to where the rock was found. The child may keep the rock or hide it
again for another child to discover. Again, sharing the joy of reading!
