The USNH Auction was a wonderful success! We raised more than $10,000 for our operating budget and had a lot of fun in the process. The live event featured a delicious array of pasta dishes, which people enjoyed with lively conversation. Raffles were won and Jim Peters was auctioneer extraordinaire for the live auction.

There are still a few items available for purchase:

Tie-Dye with Dan and Joanie, Saturday afternoon, July 12. Reconnect with your inner hippie! Come for a guided and facilitated tie-dye session with high quality, procion dyes, design help and cheerful companionship. Bring your own item or two to tie dye. Natural fibers work best. Think T-shirts, socks, underwear! No sheets please. The results will be vibrant, colorfast and surprising. Plan on an hour of creative fun! Your arrival time will be determined when we know the total number of people who sign up. No minimum age, but recommended for ages 8 and older.

Soul Collage Workshop with Kathleen Schomaker, Saturday, Sept. 20, 9:30 – 2:30: No artistic experience required! Create a collage card that is a visual expression of the Self which the card-maker has never really seen before. Then interview the card to learn what the Self wants us to know. Only the card-maker interprets the card they have created. All supplies provided. Bring a bag lunch.

New Mexican Brunch with Amy and Tom, Saturday, Sept. 27, 10:30 – 1 in Stratford: Join us for brunch – think chile rellenos casserole, stacked enchiladas with red chile sauce, sangria, and more (but menu subject to change). Dishes will be SPICY and feature artisan New Mexican ingredients like Hatch green chiles, blue corn, pinto beans, yellow squash, and others. Join us as we bring the flavors of Chimayo, Abiquiu, and Ojo Caliente and many more of our favorite places in the Land of Enchantment to Connecticut!
