Members of the community have come together to provide support for Shriner’s efforts to salvage and rebuild the studio. Suggested donation $15 includes light food from Starry Night Café and others. A selection of Church and Maple glass will be available for sale, as well as a silent auction of donated goods and services from generous community members. At 7pm, there will be a beginner lesson in Argentine tango with Elizabeth Seyler, followed by open dancing to a varied playlist of swing, salsa and Argentine tango. Log on to see the beautiful space where the event will be held: Mt. Philo Inn, 27 Inn Road (corner of Mt. Philo Road and Inn Road) www.mtphiloinn.com .
To donate items and pledges for the Silent Auction, contact Bud@churchandmaple.com . Can’t make the benefit event? Throughout the month of February, Church and Maple Glass by Bud Shriner will be featured at Creative Space Gallery at 235 Main Street, Vergennes, and the gallery drop box will collect donations towards the rebuilding of the glass studio.
