On Saturday November 17th 2012 from 10am to 6pm The Village Zendo will be transformed into a gift-giving and gift-receiving holiday marketplace.
The donations so far are wonderful. There is a large selection of Japanese small gift items, a really intriguing collection of books, and a beautiful group of handwoven scarves, interesting and odd toys, candle holders, and much more. If you need to buy any gifts for the coming holiday season this is a great opportunity. Not only are the items rare and interesting, but all the proceeds will benefit the great work of the Village Zendo. What can you buy in a store that is better than that?
Of special interest to our group are the stock of used (but in good condition) Zafus and Zabutons at very low prices. The Zendo’s shop will sell back stock of books and clothing.
Deena’s food menu is of course nourishing and delicious. Even if you don’t plan to buy anything, come for lunch.
There is still time to donate. VZ Arts is looking for your donation of new or lightly used items in good condition such as:
• Dharma oriented books
• Altar items
• Ceramics
• Handmade Crafts
• Items that would make nice holiday gifts.
Please do not drop off un-evaluated or un-listed items at the Zendo.
Instructions:
1. Fill out the DONATION FORM. Pick up the form at the Zendo or Download here…
2. Place form in box at Zendo, or email to Musho…
3. Contact Musho about pick-up or drop-off.
If you can, send a mobile phone photo snapshot of your item(s) to Musho
Return the DONATION FORM to the Zendo by Tuesday November 13th. THANK YOU!
Donations are tax deductible and all proceeds will go to support the Village Zendo.
If you interested in volunteering to help with the event, contact Musho. THANK YOU!
Give and Receive!
Reuse and Recycle!
De-clutter and Re-decorate!
