Maine Bead Society Retreats
Each year, the Maine Bead Society holds a retreat for its members. Participants meet for sessions of beading lead by an expert who has selected a challenging but fun project. Activities the evening prior to the beading session include a pendant exchange and pizza party. Good fellowship is enjoyed throughout the retreat.
