Providing Meals
As we entered the cold season, Punkass Pastry contributed weekly to feed the homeless and hungry.
Comedy Event
Thanks to Marisa Warner for making us laugh with her standup comedy take on the dangers of food poisoning which we filmed at Theater Wit for our Udemy class. The audience enjoyed a reception with appetizers and desserts and were also treated to the humor of the comedy troupe, XOXO Garbage Girls. Thanks to our audience for coming out to support Marisa!
Benefit for the Animals at The Anti-Cruelty Society
Great fun was had by all! Partiers crafted cozy dog beds and fragrant kitty catnip sachets for shelter animal friends, took photos with shelter mascots, relaxed in the Chill Tent with salt lamps, Punkass Pastry and Chef Zach served appetizers, small plates and dessert, Andre Peraza led an exhilarating and healing gong meditation, and all enjoyed great conversation and music. Local businesses donated awesome prizes for our raffle and John Jay spoke about his experiences working at the shelter and thanked everyone for coming out to help the animals and have fun with us. What a great night!
Many thanks to UCCDG for generously donating the use of their Fellowship Hall to make this event possible!
If you’re interested in adopting a pet to share a forever home, see who’s available and learn about the shelter at their website: The Anti-Cruelty-Society.
