WATERTOWN SD "EMPTY BOWLS" EVENT PLANNED: 9AM to- 4PM Saturday, August 18, 2012 Watertown City Auditorium, Parks and Recreation, 125 S. Broadway. Empty Bowls is a community project that uses creative arts and education to work on a social problem -- hunger. Ceramic bowls are created by local community people, students and artists who then host a simple meal of soup and bread. Guests attending the meal make a donation, have some soup, then choose a bowl to take home as a reminder of the event and of the fact that hunger exists, even here in Aberdeen. Raising awareness of local hunger issues is a major goal of the project and all funds raised are used locally to fight hunger. South Dakota Artists Network (SDAN) is helping to fund this event with a $300 grant, and is inviting its membership to participate in creating the bowls on Saturday. A SDAN Membership meeting is also being planned during lunchtime. |

Identified in photo: (L to R) Harlan Konrad,Rich Riddle, Judy Konrad and Marion Riddle _______________________________ Tickets for the event cost $10.00 which included a handmade pottery bowl and also a cup of soup. All of the funds raised at the event went to the Watertown Area PACH program which was started in April of 2011. The table in front of the Konrad's and Riddle's contains silent auction art work donated by the artists and was also a part of the fundraiser for PACH. The Watertown Area People Against Child Hunger Program (PACH) works with school staff to provide Complimentary snacks and meals to students who may need an additional food resource over weekends during the school year. The food is given to the children before they leave school each Friday (or, in case of holiday, the last day before the break). Any child in grades K]8 enrolled in the Watertown Public School District may participate in PACH. There are no eligibility requirements. Pre]Registration is required and the number of participants is limited, children will be served on a first come first served basis. _______________________________ MAIN PAGE LINKS OF INTEREST: State arts website -- links you to the action Arts Education Institute Workshops -- Lead, SD MADE IN SOUTH DAKOTA... -- e-commerce site for artists.

The three goals of the event are: 1. To raise awareness for hunger in the community 2. To raise money for a food related hunger project in the community 3. To raise awareness for the arts in the local community. SDAN will host Empty Bowls at $300.00 this year for the clay and glazes for the event and the empty bowls project for the Watertown PACH program. SDAN will also incorporate a meeting with this event. Some type of meal (lunch) will be catered in or go out. Watertown Parks and Recreation is one of the sponsors for this event. They donate the space for the bowl making and also the equipment and kilns for finishing the bowls. The entrance to the pottery room is on the north side of the building toward the back. There will be a lunch break for a meeting and also to have lunch. Wear old clothes. Or if you prefer, there is a place in the building where you can change and clean up a bit if necessary. Event organizers need a fairly accurate count of who will be attending- both for the bowl making and also for the event lunch. People are welcome to email Laura at Gerald / Laura Dahle igvdahle@wat.midco.net or call and leave a message at 605-886-9047. |
