Empty Bowls, 2009

The Palouse Studio Potters Guild together with the Moscow Food Co-op, Heart of the Arts Organizations and many individuals held the most successful Empty Bowls event that we have yet had in Moscow, Idaho. Together we raised over $1600. for Hunger Organizations. We make no money from this personally, all of the proceeds are donated. Half will be given to local food banks, the other half to the international organization, OxFam.

The Moscow Food Co-op donated their delicious soup and bagettes and helped us with publicity. Heart of the Arts donated the 1912 Community Center and helped us set up and take down. All this good work couldn't be accomplished without our volunteers.

Gary Marvin spent the entire time working away in the kitchen. Keeping the soup hot and refilled and the dishes clean.

More bowls, and what a splendid variety!
