Your donation entitles you to the Empty Bowls Opening Reception which will be held on Friday, October 8, 2010 from 5:30 pm until 8:00 pm. You will enjoy refreshments while making a selection of your favorite Empty Bowls which were handcrafted and donated by local ceramic artists. You will also be invited to attend the Empty Bowls Event, which will be held on Friday, October 22, 2010 from 5:30pm until 8:00 pm.
