Seaside Celebration
Saturday, July 23
Join us this Saturday, from 6 to 8 PM, on the KBIA lawn for our ninth annual Seaside Celebration. From cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, to auction items and an art sale, we will be having more fun than we will know what to do with! This night unites the “older” members of this KBIA community (21 and older, please), inviting friends a chance to catch up and enjoy the beautiful setting by the cove.
Auction items available to bid on at the Seaside include:
1) One parking space for the 2017 season — convenient to your favorite summer enrichment program and one of the best beaches around!
2) Pool party at the KBIA pool for up to 20 swimmers for before the end of the 2017 season.
3) A private hot dog roast and s’mores on the beach for up to 10 — sit back and enjoy as KBIA staff provides the food and fun!
If you would like to bid on any auction item but cannot attend the Seaside, please contact Martin Lodish.
The highlight of the evening will be to not only enjoy good company by the cove, but to also have the opportunity to take a piece of the beach home with you. Heartwood College of Art and KBIA have collaborated for a third time to showcase paintings of respected regional artists whose work were inspired by Kennebunk beach. Paintings are for sale for $400 each and pieces measure 12″ x 16″ or 14″ x 14″.

Clynk for KBIA
CLYNK is another way to help preserve our beaches and help KBIA at the same time! We now have those green bags available at our office for members to pick up, fill with returnables, and redeem them at the Kennebunk Hannaford (or any CLYNK redemption center). Proceeds from KBIA-tagged bags will benefit our nonprofit organization.
