The Hazleton Art League is pleased to announce that the Empty Bowls fundraiser held at the Art League recently successfully raised money for two local charities. Checks for more than $1,000 were accepted by Erika Ramirez, Annette Ambrush, and Tamear Henegain from the Willow Foundation, and Kristina Notaro and Tracey Zapotocky from United Charities. Presenting the checks on behalf of co-chairs Louise Baran and Joni Troyanoski is Mark Peterson, executive director of the Hazleton Art League. The organizers thank the many artists, volunteers and local restaurants who donated to this worthy cause.
