The
Aspasians consist of 40 women who volunteer their time and energy
in order to help the community. Our main enterprise is the Aspasians
Art Fair, which has been held on the old courthouse square in downtown
Rockwall each April or May and September for over 30 years.
The majority of our profits
from the fair go toward scholarships for high school seniors, with
the remaining proceeds going to help other organizations and individuals
who have a need. We provide Thanksgiving baskets loaded with food
for families who otherwise might not have a holiday feast and play
Santa to children and adults who might otherwise have a barren
Christmas. Just a few of the organizations we have helped over
the years are the Angel League, our soldiers in Iraq, and the Rainbow
Room.
In order to assure maximum
funds for scholarships, many of our philanthropic holiday donations
come from personal donations by our membership. Our main focus
and the purpose of our profits from the Art Fair are to help provide
motivated high school seniors who have a financial need the opportunity
to achieve a college education.
