We’re so grateful to all the wonderful volunteers who brought their positive creative energy & sparkles to the mixer yesterday! Thank you for cutting out, hole punching, stringing, and decorating 600 pledge fruits! We’re looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

We’ll be having another mixer in mid September, so if you missed this one - we’ll gladly welcome you into the family!  If anyone out there is interested, please sign up for the newsletter &/or send an email to volunteer@fruitofthesoul.org to be added to the list :)

Give Back & Dance It Out!

Picnic Basket! Foodie event for ARTS!

Posted By Kelly Orange on July 13, 2010


Presented by Chef Works in collaboration with Cooks Confab and Waters Fine Catering

Seriously… don’t miss out on this event.   It’s only $50 (most Cooks Confab events are closer to $100 so this is a steal!). There will be plenty of food & it’s a family friendly event, so all of you with kids 12 & under, you can bring them along for FREE!  We will be there in support of ARTS with our own little booth for taking snapshots for the Scion x-CHANGE site! The top three nonprofits with the most added content, be it art or Face Art Lab photos is awarded extra money for their charity & we’re on a mission.

Stop by, say hi and take a picture with us!  You can do this on your own as well… just go to http://scionxchange.org click on the “Face Art Lab” link on the top and upload & manipulate a picture! All you have to do is finish by adding your name and make sure to pick San Diego as your city! Your contribution is much appreciated :) Check out all the awesome Chefs who are supporting this cause:
