Caregivers host annual Potter's Bowl

By Julie Huss

DERRY — It's the Super Bowl of soup and a great way to enjoy some local flavor while making a difference in the lives of area citizens in need.

The Community Caregivers of Greater Derry host its fifth annual Potter's Bowl fundraiser on Feb. 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Windham Presbyterian Church, 1 Church Road, Windham.

People can stop by anytime during Bowl time to enjoy homemade soups, breads, desserts, and beverages.

For a $25 ticket, patrons are able to pick a handcrafted pottery bowl, all donated by local New Hampshire artists. More than 10 different types of soups will be donated from local restaurants around the Greater Derry area, and well as breads from Panera Bread and desserts from local grocers and businesses.

The world famous Red Star Twirlers will once again be serving at the event. Musical entertainment is provided by Simply the Best Entertainment . A silent auction features fine art, and autographed books by NH Authors such as Jodi Picoult, Janet Evanovich and John Clayton, along with other NH Crafts.

The Potter's Bowl and silent auction proceeds goes to support Community Caregivers, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the elderly and disabled in our area through compassionate caring volunteers.

Tickets go fast for this popular event. To purchase tickets to the event, please call Caregivers at 432-0877 or drop by the Derry Masonic Temple at 58 East Broadway during the business day.
