Spring time means donation time. I have 4 donations scheduled for very worthy causes this month. Two of them are this weekend. If you can, please be sure and attend. Not only do they promise to be great events, but auctions are a fantastic place to snag some art.
"Blizzard"
This piece “Blizzard” is going to The Krewe of Confetti Kids.
Confetti Kids is a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of the children of Algiers Point. They bring several FREE events throughout the year, as well as funds maintenance and improvement projects at their playgrounds.
Their 2nd Annual Friendship Day Ball & Fundraiser: An Evening in Candy Land, is this Saturday, March 2, 2013 from 5pm-8pm at 626 Elmira in Algiers.
There will be music (DJ Cupcakes in the House), kids activities, food, adult drinks and a silent auction – ALL included in the ticket price! Tickets are $25 and $8 (1 year olds and younger are free)… And Trixie is on the board!
Another event happening this Saturday is the fundraiser for Morris Jeff Community School, which is hosting its 1st Spring Art Auction at the historic and graceful Marigny Opera House at 725 S. Ferdinand from 5pm to 7pm.
All funds raised will support the MJCS Fundraising Team’s three fundraising priorities: 1) early childhood programs, 2) Int’l Baccalaureate training for teachers, and 3) expanding their library collection.
"9.25"

So support some good local causes and buy some art!
