empty bowls event 2010
The Empty Bowls Event is a fantastic fundraiser that I have been blessed to participate in for the last 4 years. Unlike many ‘fundraisers’, this one directly benefits the food bank for my local area in Texas.
I love knowing that the dollars that I spend and the time and efforts that I donate go to help my neighbors here in Tarrant County, not somewhere else farther away. And boy do these folks have it down! They can actually feed somewhere around 30 people for every $5 donated!! It’s just another example of those simple miracles that are around us, if we care to take a look.
Anyway, the Event is this Friday, Feb. 19 from 11 am to 1:30. For more information and to buy your ticket, please go to this link: TAFB.ORG. Your $35 ticket gets you in the door to sample foods from more than a dozen fancy-schmancy restaurants AND your choice of a hand thrown, hand painted bowl! (Last year there were more than 2000 bowls to pick from so come mentally prepared for some tough decisions…)
There is also the ‘Bump’ Table is for the bigger, groovier, more wonderful-er bowls. You can either swap your smaller bowl plus an additional $30 for one of the Bump Bowls or you can selfishly keep your smaller bowl and buy the bigger one outright for $65… That’s the option I usually go for.
This year I was asked to donate two pieces to either the auction or the Bump table and I’ve showcased them in the gallery below. Hopefully I’ll see you there, circling the bowl tables for the 20th time, looking for just the right one that’s calling your name…
