We haven’t had a craft party in a while and who doesn’t have some half-finished scrapbooking project stuffed away in the closet somewhere? Or if you’re not into scrapbooking, come and join us to make some pretty all-purpose cards, book marks, or other paper art.

Time: 3:00pm – 7:00pm
Location: In Mariah and Kara’s Sweet Ass Attic
Street: 1721 W. Riverside Apt. B

Our land lord has generously allowed us to use the empty studio apartment in the attic of our mansion for this event. We will have everything set up with tables and chairs so we can be in one big room together, this will be fun. See you there!

Anyone want to go with me (Mariah) to this reception before heading back over to Truth Lenders at the Empyrean?

A whimsical collection of woodblock prints and fiber art, Brenda’s show is a fanciful nod to nature, family, and the little moments that make life worthwhile.

The Shrinking Violet Society has received a very special invitation to learn more about VOICES, a local grassroots nonprofit organization that seeks racial and economic justice for underserved communities  in Spokane.

VOICES is lead by the talented Kiondra Bullock, who has a vision for offering a comprehensive mentoring and skill-building program for local teen girls called AWALL.

We are invited to attend a benefit auction for this much needed program on Thursday, April 29, 11:30 a.m.-2:00 p.m. at the Masonic Center located at 1108 W. Riverside. The AWALL girls program is designed to decrease dropout rates, teen pregnancy and juvenile delinquency among a very vulnerable segment of the population. Contact the VOICES office for additional details.
