The Main Event

Please join us October 17th, 2010 from 5:00- 8:00 pm at the Bennington Elks Club. For a $10.00 donation you can choose a beautiful ceramic bowl and sample delicious soups from local resturants. Come early to choose the bowl you really want. We hope to see you there.

Fourth Of July At Willow Park!

Even in the heat, volunteers and bowl makers came up to participate at Willow Park on the Fourth of July. An estimated 180 bowls were made at this event. It is serendipitous that we gathered in a steady flow of crowds of participants on Independence Day, as this endeavor is providing for basic needs for people working toward independence. The Empty Bowls fundraiser is fun a way of bringing food to the hungry in Bennington. Statistics on hunger are staggering. Thank you to everyone who was a wonderful part of helping the Bennington community

Several vehicles were loaded with bowls and they were brought to BPI (Bennington Project Independence) where they will be fired. Clogging and entertainment was enjoyed by all who were there.

A Glazing Party will be held in late summer and everyone will be invited to beautify the bowls. Stop back and look for more information on upcoming events.

They welcomed me with a friendly muddy handshake. This is a liftoff for the upcoming community event on the 4th of July at Willow Park upper pavilion.
