YOUR WEEKEND: Help fill empty bowls at annual benefit

Each year, art students at Green Valley High School and local artists set to work making colorful bowls to sell at the Empty Bowl Benefit and Auction to collect money for people in need. Each bowl is unique, crafted and glazed.

The ninth annual Empty Bowl Benefit and Auction will be held  from 11:30 a.m. to 2  p.m. March 21 at Green Valley High School, 460 Arroyo Grande Blvd. The event is sponsored by the Nevada Clay Guild, Green Valley High School, Aardvark Clay and the Fiber Guild.
Tickets will be $12 for adults and $10 for children and may be purchased at the door.

All proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the Las Vegas Catholic Worker and its  soupline serving the poor and homeless.

A lunch of soup and bread will be served in handmade ceramic bowls. Each attendee will select their own unique ceramic bowl made by members and friends of the Nevada Clay Guild and keep it as a lasting reminder of world hunger. A live auction of bowls made by prominent artists will take place from noon  to 1:30 p.m. There also will be a silent auction during the event.

For  information, call Julia Occhiogrosso at 647-0728 or 638-0103 or Donna Potter at 799-0950, Ext. 114034.
