THANK YOU BENNINGTON COMMUNITY!!!
















Wow! The Empty Bowls Dinner last night was a spectacular evening with hundreds of attendees, over 100 volunteers and an impressive number of local donors from bowls to soup. There was an "Obama-Bowl", a "Patrick Bowl" (from Sponge Bob Square Pants), a flower petal bowl, stars, leaves, a "Foot Bowl", all with brilliant colors. The excitement in the dining room glistened as brightly as the bowls. Several artists performed on guitar, trumpet and keyboard. The volunteers ranged from students to public officials. There were soup and bread donors and businesses throughout the community who donated goods, services, expertise and good humor.
I invite those who attended to share the your experience at this event with comments. Thank you for responding to the urgent needs of the hungry in your community.
