Empty bowls dinner set for April 19
The third annual Empty Bowls
Soup Dinner fund-raiser will be held on Friday, April 19, at 6 p.m. at Sisters
High School cafeteria.
Tickets are now on sale at
Sisters High School. Contact Pinky Pagano at 549-4045. Adult bowls are
$15; child bowls (12 & under) are $10; child (12 & under) with cafeteria
bowl $5; children five and under eat free in cafeteria bowl.
All handmade ceramic bowls
have been made by Sisters High School art teacher, Mike Baynes and his
students as well as donations from local potters.
Students have been throwing
and glazing bowls since September. The dinner includes soup, bread, dessert,
and coffee/punch -- a simple meal in keeping with the idea of helping
the needy.
Along with dinner, entertainment
will be provided by Sisters High School students and door prizes will
be given away during the evening. Students and staff from Sisters School
District have put together theme baskets for a silent auction.
Basket themes include: family
game night, at the beach, gardening, cooking, spa time, summer camping,
golf, and medical care. All proceeds from the event will benefit Sisters
Family Access Network (FAN) Emergency Access Fund to assist local families
in need.
Last year's event brought
in $3,032 which was used to help local families with medical, dental,
vision, gasoline, utility bills, and rent assistance. The Aid Association
of Lutherans, (AAL) Branch #9212 has granted FAN an $800 matching grant
for the event.
Members of AAL from Shepherd
of the Hills Lutheran Church will help with set up and serving guests
their dinner. Students from Michelle Herron's Leadership Class helping
in organizing the event and students from the culinary arts class will
be preparing the food under the guidance of Janice Comfort and Pat Lamoureux.
There are only 150 bowl tickets for sale.
For more information call
the FAN office, 549-0155.
