Yarn. Fabric. Felt. Thread. Maybe you can have too much of a good thing? The Great Fiber Swap is your chance to get rid of your unwanted fiber items and refresh your stash. You can swap items or donate your goods to the event.
Admission to the event is free, but please bring a donation of food, toiletries or personal items to support the Somerville Homeless Coalition’s (SHC).

LOCATION:

WHAT’S HAPPENING:
Each November, the Nave Gallery hosts Wrap Around, a sale of handmade knitted/crocheted/sewn goods to benefit the Somerville Homeless Coalition. Our dessert reception kicks off our sale on a sweet note.
I'm posting this here in hopes that some of you might consider attending and donating to this wonderful group as a golfer ($120-$150 per person for the tournament) or at least a dinner guest. It costs $10,000 a month to support the Asylum Seekers that the Task Force is currently housing in Worcester. They are not allowed to work due to restrictive US laws, so they need all the financial support they can get.
"Task Force fans who love to eat! And/or love to shop! And/or love nice places! Dine with the Task Force and friends on Sat. Sept. 26, at the beautiful ballroom at Cyprian Keyes Golf Club, Boylston, MA, 6:00 p.m. (early arrivals: cash bar will be open). Deluxe buffet, all you can eat. Live jazz music; asylum seekers will tell a few personal stories; mingle, hobnob, dance; bring friends! Just enjoy yourself ---and don't forget the fabulous silent auction and raffle prizes! Only $35 a person. Email golf@lgbtasylum.org or go online to http://lgbtasylum.org/golf.htm and register yourself and others as "dinner guests" (bottom of the reg form).
See you there!"
Like art, food is a visual, sensory and social experience. Flavors and textures, aromas and taste are all elements that can be explored through artwork. Culture, memories and health are just some themes that can be viewed through the lens of food. Bite is an exploration of art made with food, art about food and/or food about art.
