Empty Bowls 2008 at TOC, May 3rd

How often can you go out to eat, enjoy delicious food, support a great cause, and take home beautiful pottery. Well you can do just that at the Empty Bowls 2008 fundraiser, Saturday, May 3rd at The Outreach Center. The idea is to not only support The Outreach Center financially, but also to bring awareness to hunger in our area.

TOC board member Lynne Martin is the Empty Bowls co-ordinator and invites everyone to come out. "We hope this will become another great tasting annual event, just like TOC's Holiday Sampler, which is held in December. We will have beautiful, hand crafted bowls made by local potters and delicious soup prepared by local restaurants", said Lynne. Participating restaurants include Abele's Family Restaurant, RiverBlues Cafe, Courthouse Coffee, and Fatz Cafe.

The viewing of the bowls will begin at 5:00pm and the serving of the soup starts at 6:00pm. Tickets are $20 and available at The Outreach Center's offices, located in Christian Outreach Church, 500 East Fleming Dr. in Morganton or from any Freedom High School Anchor Club member. For more details call Lynne at 828.302.1979 or TOC at 828.439.8300.
