HAITI - A CELEBRATION OF SHARING WITH FRIENDS, JULY 14

With just a week left before the Haiti celebration the news is great!  More than 100 people have reservations and only a few places are left.  Cost is $50 per ticket.  The time is 5:00 to 8:00, Sunday, July 14.  Last minute reservations can be accepted by calling the Linds at 216-371-9004 or by emailing me at kermitlind@gmail.com ASAP.

And there's more!  The menu will include a sampling of Haitian appetizers and delicacies, with an assortment of beverages.  There will be music, laughter, mingling  and fun.  Speaking Kreyol is optional.

The benefit auction got a boost with a fourth wall quilt added just this week.  Here is a look at it.

If that is not your color scheme, here is another quilt that will be auctioned.  (Barb's legs not included.)

The really big item is the art glass shown below.  It is a work by Brent Kee Young, an internationally renown glass artist. Brent lives in Cleveland Heights and is Head of the Glass Department at the Cleveland Institute of Art.   To see more about him and his amazing work, go to this site.

The folks at the SOHO Kitchen and Bar are really wonderful!   Their help with preparation for this event on a night they are normally closed has been spectacular.  Thank you Molly and Nolan!  For those crossing a river to get to SOHO at 1889 W. 25th, this event will introduce you to a delightful West Side bistro to remember for fine dining.
