Hi all--
A little bit of everything this month!

Ongoing
Art Benefit
     Moxie's Cafe is currently hosting a large art exhibit and silent auction, featuring many excellent pieces, but in particular there are some beautiful framed photographs of the residents of Farm Sanctuary that were taken by local photographer, Carrie Snider. All proceeds from the sales of Carrie's photos will go to Farm Sanctuary and the building of an arts center in Ghana. The silent auction runs through May 18.
