Cafe Zoe a huge, profitable success for artists!

Please join everyone at Abilities United in congratulating the artists (all participants in Abilities United Independent Living Skills program) who sold their original works of art to community members and patrons of Cafe Zoe in Menlo Park. They are obviously very talented...their combined sales of eight pieces earned them a total of $1,200!
Michael sold three pieces at Cafe Zoe which brings him to eight pieces sold in the last 5 months! Michael has earned approximately $2,000 for his art!
Judy sold three pieces for a total of 5 pieces in the last 3 months...over $500 earned from her art.
Joseph's "Stanford Hoover Tower" sold at Cafe Zoe. Over the past 5 years Joseph has sold 5 original works of art to local art lovers.
Xenia's "Slipper" sold as well as another at the Abilities United Authors Luncheon auction.
In addition to congratulating these talented individuals, if you ever happen to be the Cafe Zoe area (1929 Menalto Avenue in Menlo Park) please stop in and thank the staff and owner Kathleen Daly for their wonderful support of the artists. Here is what Kathleen had to say about the exhibit, "The show has been a favorite. And the buzz has definitely created some new faces. I would like to make sure we plan to have this as an annual event." They have already scheduled the second annual Abilities United art exhibit for the month of January 2013!
