Local artists displayed their work for similar percentages as galleries would, with gallery fees going to the Mustard Seed.Guests enjoyed dinner in the Hyatt Hotel ballroom with the perimeter flanked with easels and displays of artwork, which included paintings, sculptures and photography. The audience was addressed by Bev Longstaff, and Pat Nixon director of the Mustard Seed. ( see Readers' Digest April 2000 A Hand up for the Homeless (page 72) ) Musical entertainment for the evening included Paul Brandt and the Latinas.All 15 of our assigned volunteers showed up - there were no cancellations or no-shows. YIPEE!The men donned interesting looking red vests that sparked a great deal of lively conversation, and our jobs were to be ticket checkers, assist the guests who wished to purchase the art and assist with the sale of raffle tickets.One of our new members won a raffle prize package, which included a trip
to Puerto Vallarta. She must have been excited because I
never was able to catch her to congratulate her.
