“We are so excited to be celebrating our 10th annual Share-a-Bowl,” said Diane McWithey, Executive Director of Share. “The event was envisioned to give the community a sense of the experience our Hot Meal Program clients have each day at Share House. And nine years later, the event continues to draw hundreds of community members each year, who are actively engaged in supporting our efforts to feed hungry men, women and children in Clark County.”
Dinner includes a variety of soup selections, salad, bread, beverages and dessert; plus each attendee will take home a ceramic bowl crafted by local artist Michael Metz. Featured chefs include: Muffin Batiste from Le Sous Chef, Stephanie Cerame from Whole Foods Market and Troy Lucio from Gray’s at the Park. Each guest will have an opportunity to sample each soup; the winner will be awarded the “People’s Choice Award.”
The evening’s program will include the presentation of the 2011 Emily Marshall Volunteer of the Year Award; this year’s nominees are Joan Caley, Vicki Erickson, Carla Feltz, Susan O’Shea, as well as David Slocum and Judy Enders
