Circle of Friendship Bridge sweet indeed
At 7 p.m. on May 16, Desiree Mays will discuss "The Power of Forgiveness," an overview of the 2008 Santa Fe Opera season, to help raise funds for the nonprofit Santa Fe Circle of Friendship Bridge.
Friendship Bridge provides microcredit and educational programs to help rural Guatemalan women find solutions to poverty. In addition to giving more than $7 million to 10,000 women, Friendship Bridge has provided 21,000 scholarships to children.
Admission to Friday's fundraiser is $20 per person and includes a sumptuous buffet of desserts after Mays' talk. Desserts include donations from Harry's Roadhouse, Chocolate Maven, Cloud Cliff, Whole Foods and La Montañita Co-op, as well as sweets homemade by members of the Santa Fe Circle of Friendship Bridge; the coffee has been donated by Java Joe's.
Guatemalan jewelry and greeting cards also will be sold, as will copies on Mays' latest book. A slide show of photos by Richard Khanlian from his recent Friendship Bridge Guatemalan tour will be shown throughout the evening.
Dessert with Desiree is at United Church of Santa Fe, 1804 Arroyo Chamiso. For additional information, call 466-1941.
