             IN THE SOUP LINE!

   My wife and I, two daughters, one
granddaughter, along with our pastor
and his wife  found ourselves in a
Soup line Sunday. Don't fret. Things
aren't really that tight. As a matter of
fact this particular line was set up to
help others that may be having a tough
time making ends meet.
   It's all part of the "Empty Bowl
Project."  It's an international project
to fight hunger. Artists and Art
organizations produce bowls of all
shapes and sizes which are purchased
by folks who then get to go into a
dining area where all kinds of soups
are being served. So you get a nice
piece of artwork then some delicious
soup!
     By the way you don't have to use
your new bowl for the soup! The
servers provide containers for that!
This year's menu included a couple
soups cooked up by the fine folks
from the Luzerne County Community
College Culinary Arts Program! There
were others too, all offering a lot of
variety and flavors!
      We even had a young man
providing entertainment with his
Trombone! You don't get much of
that these days!
       Empty Bowls now supports
food related charities around the
world and has raised millions of
dollars in the fight against hunger.
       I know it worked for us. I
certainly wasn't hungry after we
left. We have two beautiful artistic
bowls and the knowledge our
admission will provide some full
bowls for others somewhere in the
area!
      Hope to go again next year
and that all your NEWS is good!
