Phyllis Stephens is sponsoring a “coffee and chat” event for artist and quilters Saturday, Oct. 20th, 9:00 – 11:00 AM at Astah’s Fine Art Gallery. The event is a fundraiser for Circle of Friends, Inc. (COF). In summer 2008, COF will open Living Water, a residential home and treatment center for girls 9-16 who have been brutalized by commercial sexual exploitation (CSE).

Each guest is asked to bring a quilt or artwork that may be sold or auctioned by COF. All proceeds from your donation will serve to help CSE girls. COF is a 501c3 not for profit organization with headquarters in Peachtree City, GA. Please visit http://www.circl-of-friends.org/ to learn more about COF and the issue of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of girls in the United States.
