CAC’s Empty Bowls was a huge success – and also fun!

4/29/2025

We had a huge success on Friday, April 25, 2025 – and also had lots of fun at the same time! Our annual Empty Bowls event featured hundreds of beautiful handmade bowls, 23 different homemade soups, and quite a number of delicious baked goods – all made by our own generous and talented members. It was also planned, organized, and staffed by wonderful CAC volunteers, of course. And the bottom line is that we made over $9,000, all of which we’re donating to the Food Bank of the Contra Costa & Solano Counties! 

Below is a photo of some of the movers and shakers that made this happen (but not all of them, unfortunately). Shown in the top photo are, left to right: Pamela Liang, Theresa Kuo, Dawn Manley, Linda Mariano, Patty Taylor, Wendy Markel. [NOTE: The one with the long dark hair is Dawn Manley, from the Food Bank - and they are all standing behind the table she had at the event, to publicize their organization.]

And below that photo are some pictures of the Empty Bowls event taken by CAC President Wendy Markel. A good time was had by all who attended!

CAC raises money for the local Food Bank - and more of our Members' "Shelter in Place" Art, Part 15

Below are some photos from our Fundraising Sale at Gateway, on the last three Fridays in October. CAC raised $3,704 during the this sale - and then we rounded it up a bit, adding a little more than the equivalent amount from our own treasury, resulting in a donation of $7,500 to the Contra Costa Food Bank! This event was not only a wonderful thing to do for the community, but it was also great fun for the CAC volunteers who participated (led by Betty Baker & Patty Taylor), as well as all of the other Rossmoorians who browsed and purchased the beautiful ceramic pieces.
Theresa Kuo reports, "The quarantine has challenged and inspired me to create. The Rossmoor bubble we live in protects those who take precautions and enjoy life to the fullest!

"The chihuahua quilt is for our daughter-in-law and the poodle one’s for a sister who is a poodle aficionado.  The stockings and house calendar are for the little grandkids (I just finished the Christmas calendar but the numbers for the days have not arrived yet - they were ordered online). The Zoe calendar (I messed up the "Z") is for our 17 year old granddaughter."  
Inspired by the "Mini Totem" demo in our October Zoom meeting, Darryla Green created several of the little totems at home (below left).

Ana Resnick enjoyed painting the beautiful silk scarf that's shown on one of her sculptures, below right.
​Phil Kramer has been painting faces on various rocks with interesting shapes lately, using acrylic paints. They have so much personality!
Mary Ann Stanley recently created a truly unique wall piece as her first in the "Trashformations" Art Tag cycle (shown in the 2 photos below), using some broken frames from her neighbors' trash and round pieces of colored paper, among other materials.
Anne Shulenberger used a lot of glaze samples that she's made and saved over the last few years, as well as the lid and broken-off handle of one of her ceramic teapots, to make the collage below. It's an 18" by 24" board with a lot of other things glued onto it as well, including cardboard, a fabric gift bag and some "silk" flowers. This is her first piece for the current Rossmoor Art Tag cycle all about "Trashformations."
