Sappho's Solstice Salon

Sat, 12/19/2009 - 7:30pm
$7-$10 sliding scale includes
food and wine.

Join us for our second annual Sappho's Solstice Salon for lesbians and their friends. This year we are delighted to present the outstanding spoken word and performance talents of C.C. Carter and the POW-WOW Finer Figure Performance Ensemble, who will be performing "A Sultry, Sexy Season," a provocative blend of dance and poetry garnished with a sprig of mistletoe. DJ SpinNikki will play an eclectic blend of multi-traditional and non-denominational holiday music before and after the performance. We'll be serving mulled wine and other seasonal goodies and collecting donations of cash; hats, socks, mittens, and children's underwear; towels, sheets, and blankets; toiletries such as unused/unopened soap, toothbrushes, shampoo, and feminine hygiene products to benefit Clara's House, a 22-year-old shelter for homeless and battered women in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood that has recently lost its funding and is struggling to stay open. One hundred percent of tonight's proceeds will benefit Clara's House.
