We had a little art show over the weekend that barely made it into the La Reunion newsletter and onto the La Reunion website and yet we still had a great turn-out and sold a ton of work! Thank you to the not-yet-open ZEN Sushi over in the Bishop Arts District for donating their empty space on Saturday during the Bishop Arts Block Party. Thank you to Richard Ross, Zachary Broadhurst, Carissa Byers, Lance Jones, Kelly Berry, Therese Power, Margarita Buenaventura, and Patrick Rhodes for providing work on such short notice and donating a portion of sales to La Reunion. Seriously guys, that was awesome.
Barry Crosno with DonateIT was also there to stimulate interest in a new company he works for that allows folks to donate their old non-functional computers, cell phones, printers, cartridges etc with a portion of proceeds going to various non-profits. He'll be on hand at our booth at the Urban Street Bazaar the last weekend of September. Come check it out.
Last, thanks to all of you who stopped by and said Hi. Clearly none of this would be possible without community support. And for this, a bow.

Upcoming events. Check it.
La Reunion is gearing up for all sorts of events this fall. Friend and fund raisers loom as the weather cools and our lives settle back into a routine.
First up: a lecture by Dr. Charissa Terranova on the philosophy of Fourier and the original La Reunion colony that settled Dallas over 150 years ago. It will be held at the Santa Clara Catholic Church, adjacent to our La Reunion land on Thursday, September 28 at 8PM. Complimentary dessert and coffee provided generously by Crosby Catering and Cafe. If you've never heard Charissa speak, you're totally in for a treat! Mentally stimulating and super friendly, she'll impress you with her ability to craft well-thought out commentary on whatever she presents. Admission is free. 321 Calument Avenue, Dallas.
Second: La Reunion will have a booth at the Urban Street Bazaar that our pal Julie over at MAKE organizes September 30-October 1. Featuring arts and crafts by local artisans and live music all weekend, La Reunion will also be the beneficiary to the live auction! Our own board prez Catherine Cuellar will be the auctioneer. Admission to the bazaar is free. Stop by on your way to the fair! Thomas at Boll in the St. Thomas Historic District, Dallas.
Third: Art Conspiracy 2 benefits La Reunion. If you missed last year's stellar event, well, there's just no excuse this year! Details TBA, although go ahead and save the date: December 2. Check out the Art Conspiracy site fill yourself in on last year.
