It was a decent crowd at the reception.
NOTE: The event was very nice. Free heavy appetizers and cash bar was included. It was a nice mix of people who attended and several paintings were sold that nite. From her Facebook page, Katherine Bish, exhibited the photos to raise public awareness of the ecological damage of the BP oil spill that happened this summer. Money raised will help charities working with the harmed animals.
Profits from the admission fees will be donated to one or more of charities working in the Gulf from the Saint Louis Better Business Bureau's approved "Wise Giving Alliance" list. Later, the exhibit will be posted on Bish's web site, www.oilcrisisproject.org along with the BBB's 'Wise Giving Alliance " list to encourage others to donate.
