Project Empty Bowl

By Adria Karchut, Director of Development &
Volunteer Services

Only 150 bowls to go, we need your help!

A Loving Spoonful will be hosting the Project Empty Bowl Gala
once again at Coal Harbour Hotel on June 22, 2012. With your
help last year this event raised over $80,000 to help provide food
and related services to men, women and children living with HIV/
AIDS.

Many of you have already supplied bowls to help us with our
fundraising event but we are still in need 150 more ceramic two-
cup bowls for the event. These bowls will need to be food safe. If
you can provide five bowls that would be great, if you can provide
20 bowls that would be fantastic! Any donation would greatly
be appreciated. You can include business cards for your bowls so
guests may know who made their bowl.

To donate bowls or let us know you are making some please
contact Lisa Martella at lisam@alovingspoonful.org or by
telephone at 604.682.6325. Bowls can be dropped off at A Loving
Spoonful, #100-1300 Richards Street, Vancouver or at the Gallery
of BC Ceramics on Granville Island. (Please mark for Project

Empty Bowl c/o A Loving Spoonful) Arrangements can be made
if a pick up is required. All donations will be recognized in our
event program.

We hope to receive all bowls by May 31. w@
