GREETINGS POTTERS GUILD MEMBERS!
POTTERS GUILD GENERAL MEETING TUESDAY FEBRUARY 11TH 6 PM. ROBERT AND ROSE ESCAMILLA STUDIO 2013 BLANCO ROAD.
Can you believe we are already in the second month of 2014 and now less than a month away to our Empty Bowls Event on March 2nd ?
To remain the effective event Empty Bowls has been the Guild needs volunteers to help make our 14th year a resounding success. The bowls are in storage awaiting pick-up and delivery. If you can help please contact dneese@satx.rr.com.
The food kitchen is staffed and the gallons of soups donated are being
totaled up. In our Empty Bowls meeting with SAMM yesterday we outlined
areas of critical volunteer help. One big area of need is our volunteer
Break room food items. We have not been able to secure break room food
donations this year. So as in the past we are asking everyone to bring a
pot luck dish of snack food to the break room to share. Coffee and
water will be available. Any Potters Guild member who would like to
organize the break room please step forward at the meeting.
SAMM has
volunteers ready to handle their share of Empty Bowl duties. The Potters
Guild will need to fill certain responsibilities of our own as we
prepare for the event. Those areas are set up of tables, unpacking the
bowls. Set up of the Silent Auction area. Set up of the demo area. Help
with the cashier’s booth and packing of bowls. We will certainly need
help later in the day making sure the tables are put away, trash is
taken out and the whole area that we use is properly taken care of.
All of this information and more
will be discussed in depth at the General Meeting next week. Please
come and receive your EMPTY BOWLS volunteer name tags (all volunteers
must have name tags at the event) and sign up to support your Potters
Guild. As in the past the EMPTY BOWLS EVENT has run so smoothly because
of the volunteers. Getting it done from 8am and out by 3 pm.
Also
representatives from SAMM will be presenting the program for the
evening. What EMPTY BOWLS means from SAMM’s perspective of our shared
community project to aid the hungry and homeless in San Antonio.
Tuesday will be the last Potters Guild meeting before Empty Bowls. Come and be counted.
Thanks!
