Our second annual District 5890 Holiday Shopping Night at 10,000 Villages in Rice Village, is tomorrow night, Tuesday evening, December 15th, from 6 - 8 PM. 15% of the evening's net sales will be donated to Rotary International Foundation.
Come and enjoy Rotary camaraderie and light refreshments while shopping these beautiful handmade items. A representative from Glazer Distributors is providing wine samples and we will have nibbles that, if you like, you can actually purchase from 10,000 Villages (chocolates, cookies, etc.)
"Nationally recognized for their commitment to social responsibility, Ten Thousand Villages creates opportunities for artisans around the globe to earn a fair wage. Artisans use this income to pay for food,education, healthcare, and housing for themselves and their families.
Ten Thousand Villages' mission is to create opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by bringing their products and stories to markets through long-term fair trading relationships." (10,000 Villages website)
The Holiday Season is upon us and what better way to do your holiday shopping that by buying handmade items from around the globe, while benefiting the Rotary International Foundation?
