Chairs for Charity returns to Calaveras County on Saturday,
January 31, 2015!
Mark
your calendars!
The Calaveras Arts Council and Soroptimist International of
Calaveras County are again partnering to host this fun affair. The venue, as before, is The San Andreas Town
Hall. It’s not too early to begin thinking about that unique chair, stool,
bench or “a place to sit” and transforming it into a “Work of Art” that will
garner the most money for the charity of your choice.
Professional artists and community groups receive 40% of the
auction price. Strive to be one of the
10 top entries to be selected as a live auction item. Creativity and ingenuity
are always encouraged. The theme chosen
for 2015 is SPORTS –any kind of sports: baseball, football, fencing, horseback
riding, skiing, kayaking, golfing, badminton –you get the picture. Adherence to this theme is encouraged – but
not necessary.
Planning meetings are taking place now and some new wrinkles
may be put into play.
Expect, as in the past a no-host bar, a buffet dinner,
silent and live auctions and fun galore as we play musical chairs --- what
could be more fitting?
Entry forms are now available at either group’s websites: www. sicalaverascounty.org or www.calaverasarts.org. For questions
or more information contact: Calaveras Arts Council at 754-1774.
