Hello Davis Square,

I'm writing to remind everyone about the Something Sweet in Somerville fundraiser happening Saturday night at the Washington Street Art Center. All proceeds are going to the Somerville Homeless Coalition. We have some beautiful art up for auction and a huge bounty of dessert provided by Dave's Fresh Pasta, KickAss Cupcakes, Highland Kitchen, The Sherman Cafe, When Pigs Fly, The Independent and other wonderful bakers. $5 or a donation of a new winter accessory gets you into the festivities.

WSAC is located at 321 Washington Street in Somerville, just outside of Union Square. Parking is free and ample!

You can see a writeup on the event in the Somerville News at:

I hope to see you there!
