Oyster Roast/Silent Auction Q&A

1. Will there be any tofu oysters this year? No, but there will be a basket of rubber erasers available for roasting.
2. Will there be any other food options besides oysters and chili? Possibly some artisan bread and cupcakes but no other "main food" as the preschoolers would say.

Dear Harmony Families,

This Sunday, Sept. 20th is our International Day of Peace at the
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on the corner of Heyward and Woodrow St. in Shandon. The festival starts at 3:00 and the Harmony children will perform (singing) at 3:45pm. Please have your child(ren) at the UU no later than 3:30! If for any reason your child cannot make it for the performance, please let your child's teacher know by Friday. There will be plenty of entertainment and arts and craft activities for the children from 3-6 pm.

One art table will have a silk screening activity for the children. Please have your child bring a t-shirt for this or purchase a t-shirt at the booth. The cost to silk screen your own shirt will be
$2.00(cost of ink) if you purchase a white t-shirt from the booth to silk screen it will cost $5.00.

I hope most everyone can make this event to help with our "Pennies for
Peace" campaign! This event is FREE, however we are asking for donations for a great cause!!!

Thank you......
Peace,
Debbie
