Mike the UPS man just left a humongous box on my doorstep from Kim =
Peterson in Colorado. The box contains two delicious Raku pieces for =
the Belize teaching trip sale/auction. Thank you Kim!
Last week I got from Marcy Sherman a lovely bowl and a box o' tools and =
sponges. THank you Marcy!
I got earlier this week a huge box of Chinese Clayart tools donated by =
Rebecca Horning. Gotta coordinate with Billie to get these down to =
Belize in the diplomatic pouch thing.....it'll be the biggest damn pouch =
THEY've ever seen. Thanks Rebecca!
Looking forward to Silly Little Dragons and other promised pieces......
THANK Y"ALL SO MUCH for your generosity! We've had cash donations =
totalling $315 so far from Clayart (and other) friends, so we're at 10% =
of the goal now. Woo HOO! Our spring sale date was changed to May 1 =
(next week, yikes!) and we'll have Pots for Belize there too.
In case you missed the original plea for help, Leanne Pizio and I have =
volunteered to go down to Indian Church Village in Belize to teach =
pottery to the members of the artists' cooperative there. We can only =
go if we raise the travel money, because ICVA can neither pay us nor pay =
for our travel/lodging. We need to raise about $3000 for the both of =
us, and so I have asked for donations of cash, or pots to sell/auction. =
(I am not a nonprofit, so your donation is not a tax break (sorry!), =
it's a Philanthropic Donation.) If you are interested in giving, =
please email me offlist lpskeen@living-tree.net and I will send you my =
mailing address.
The gym where Leanne and I are members (yes, I do have a gym membership; =
stop that snickering!) is hosting a 5K run/walk on June 19 to raise =
money for us, and we are working on a fundraiser with The Marshall =
Gallery, time and type TBD. Hopefully, we can come up with the $ we =
will need to go next winter.
Thanks again to all who have donated!!!
