On Saturday night, May 16, Art.Food.Community held our event, a fundraiser for Arlington EATS. Over 600 people came to buy a bowl and enjoy music, games, crafts and a delicious dinner catered by John and Jodi of Something Savory. Thompson’s Art Show was also held at the same time. Beautiful art, including origami mobiles and gelli prints, was on view, thanks to Mrs. Campagna and Ms. Greenland.
Approximately 600 people attended, ate dinner and took home a bowl.
The mood was light, with lots of laughter and smiles as both kids and adults chose their bowls to take home.
So many wonderful bowls to choose from! Decisions, decisions!
This one looks good!
Found it!
Every one looks so good…
Enjoying a meal together
Did our friends make these?
Kids helped out at all the stations, from handing out bowls to wrapping to serving food to cleaning up!
Helping out at the Bowl Table
There was music….
And games…
And more art…
And Speeches…
And good food (much of it donated from Food Link).
We raised $12,000 after expenses, which will fund this summer’s weekday luncheon program (75 lunches a day for seven weeks) and toward a grant from Arlington EATS to the Arlington Boys and Girls club for summer snacks and lunches. Good job, Thompson School kids!
Thank you!
