Empty Bowls, recap

[morgaina]

We raised over $1700. for Hunger Organizations! It was quite a bit of work, but so fun and rewarding. Plus, I think it is finally established that Empty Bowls is an annual community activity people are aware of as a "must-do". We had more entertainment this year, so after eating people just hung out enjoying the music and dance.

A couple who attended said they were visiting from "An area near Kirkland" and want to start an Empty Bowls Event there. We offered to help however we could. That would be cool, coming to a location near you!

SCA folks continue to amaze me. Both with their talent and their willingness to try new things.

Oh, hurrah! That's a solid pile of cash that can be put to excellent use. :)

And it feels so good to me. Like I am able to give something closer to me than cash. (Cash still being a good thing of course ;-)

Your bowl turned out lovely. I saw the lady who chose it and had some great soup from it too.
