April 19th Event "A Woman of Virtue"

Ten Women, Ten Stories
A Musical Parable


This was a touching event. All the women involved went way beyond your average "help". They really put everything they had into it.

The performance was set amidst hand carved wood tables and chairs, and the doors were carved by a local artist.

The women who sang have exquisite voices. I'd be surprised if there was a dry eye in the place.


Poly and her family hand carved and oiled over 30 wood platters for each table.


She catered the entire event (no small feat), and inspired the idea to have the young women who served the food dress authentically and put the baskets on their heads, which drew ooh's and ah's from the crowd.


Special thanks to Poly Hartvigson, Julie Jones, and Ann Gray.
