Last Wave of Glazing Surfed by Student International Club







On September 15th, a second glazing party gathered in Congregation Beth El's gathering hall. Mount Anthony High School's Student International Club was there making an impact upon the needs of the Bennington Community! This awesome effort finished off the glazing of the last 100 or so bowls. Again another healthy turnout of volunteers and artists. Pictures here are courtesy of and thanks go to the Teacher sponsor, Anja Pfeffer, for her involvement of the High School's students in this effort. The special nature of the International Club is learning and reaching beyond the bounds of everyday life to raise awareness of cultural diversity of and build relationships with others globally. This effort will raise funds as a whole community for those who in this tough economic time need assistance from the Food and Fuel Fund program of the Bennington Interfaith Community Services organization. For young people to see the significance of how important it is to make a contribution to this critical need in Bennington is totally cool. Glazing the bowls was just as fun as surfing so many thanks go to all who participated in achieving our goal of 500 bowls.
