Sunday, October 11, 2009. Our first Empty Bowls event to benefit The Open Door of Midland was held. A BIG THANK you to all the attendees and donors. I am especially grateful to our community because they generously donated $5200.00 to The Open Door through this event! I also want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of the wonderful volunteers from United Method Church who came together to prepare the soup and helped with serving and clean-up. A special thank you goes to Ruth, the head cook (far left)  and my sister Lynnette Ewbank (near left).
My daughter Mikaela helped donors choose their bowl.
Hunger doesn't go away with one fundraising event. Your donations to The Open Door are always needed and welcomed.. Phone 989-835-2291 for more information.
Calling on all Potters!
I would like to make Empty Bowls events an annual fundraising effort on behalf of The Open Door. I would like to invite other potters in the area to donate handmade bowls for these events. For more information, please
