COMMUNAL PAINTING: We're going to have a huge communal painting outside to kick off Buzz. Come down early - starting at noon - to leave your mark! And if you have any old art supplies you are willing to spare, please bring them by early to donate. Any extras that are still in good condition will be donated and shipped to Sri Lanka as part of the ICAF's Healing Arts for Tsunami Survivors program to help treat children affected by trauma through art therapy.
