Pueblo -- The Pueblo School for Arts and Sciences (PSAS) will sponsor the
seventh annual Empty Bowls Nite fundraiser to benefit Posada, the Pueblo Soup
Kitchen, and Wayside Cross Gospel Rescue Mission in observance of International
Hunger Awareness Month. The University of Southern Colorado holds the PSAS
charter and works closely with PSAS officials to achieve their mission.
The dinner will occur Tuesday, Nov. 12, from 5 - 8 p.m. at the Union Depot on B
Street. A $10 ticket buys dinner, entertainment, and one of the empty bowls made
by students, parents, teachers, and local artists. Students from PSAS will
provide entertainment and serve the dinner. In addition to a Folklorico dance
presentation, past and present students will perform vocal and instrumental
pieces. The event also will include a silent auction.
"These local organizations are lacking in 50 percent of their usual annual
donations because people are donating to the Red Cross and relief funds,"
said Cynthia Ramu, an instructor for PSAS.
For more information regarding the event call 549-2616.
