is astonishing. Our event was a tremendous success last year – over 750 individuals and 22 companies hosted pot- tery bowl painting parties, to create hundreds of bowls for the event. It’s that time again, we are asking you to host a pottery bowl painting party for your friends or colleagues. We will bring the bisque-fired pottery bowls and the glazes to your business or home for you to paint and then donate to the sale. Our Executive Director will


join you and your guests to share about PPSC and our pro- grams. All of the bowls from your party will be fired by our partner studio and then auc- tioned at the 1,000 Petaluma Bowls event in November.


tainment and a lot of really beautiful pottery created by people you know in the com- munity and some of the Bay Area’s best clay and glass art- ists and studios. Now imagine 1,000 smiling


faces. With the sale of each bowl at our event, we will be able to expand our programs to better support these seniors, families and individuals. If you want to host a party,


please pick a date, (or two), in September, October or November and email us at 1000PetalumaBowls@Petal- umaPeople.org. We will send you a


draft invite to share with your friends. Please call if you have questions. (707) 765-8488
