I had to park on the seventh level below ground in the Symphony building (I've had tickets to the Symphony for 20 years and didn't even realize the parking went that far underground).<BR/><BR/>Probably 20 restaurants had stands providing soups and all kinds of bread and then cookies or gelato. I had Maine lobster chowder and then ham and navy bean soup, cornbread and a lemon cookie. <BR/><BR/>Musicians played throughout lunch and potters did demonstrations of making pottery. The bowl I selected is vaguely Chinese looking: white with green willow branches. It's beautiful.<BR/><BR/>There was a silent auction to bid on the really spectacular bowls that had been donated. <BR/><BR/>Last year the luncheon collected about $250,000. I'm guessing we will surpass that this year.Maya Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791278987339976101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16743003.post-85904571518484984212009-02-20T08:46:00.000-08:002009-02-20T08:46:00.000-08:00What a great cause.
