Valentine/Anti-Valentine Reading

Donna Perkins will lead the festivities of Archway Reader's celebration of relationships this month.  There are wonderful sides of relationships that can be expressed but there are much more humorous takes on the not so wonderful side of them.  As in the past, there will be a raffle of various items donated by the readers.  This fundraising will benefit the Houston Area Women's Center.  An open invitation to all that suffer the joys and the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes.  This group began at Archway Gallery in August of 1997.  It is free and open to the public, whether you read or not.  This month's date is Friday (not Thursday),  Feb. 10th, starting at 6:30 pm.

For more information, please contact donna e perkins.
