simone4king: Good Clean Fundraisers

As promised, I have scheduled a couple of great events downtown in Spadina and Kensington Market area.

Look forward to dining at one of my favourite restaurants, Xam Yu. It is located on Spadina just North of Dundas. The food is superb. The service is amazing. The staff is pleasant and patient.

Jimmy, the manager of Xam Yu, (whom I will probably buy a house from some day), kindly agreed to support my efforts to exhibit my works of art in China.

This fundraising event is called, Hump Day Lunch.

For $30 a plate, you can eat the most scrumptious Chinese food ever.

Jimmy is open to suggestions regarding the menu. You can post a comment on http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/390917.

I invite you to taste some of my favourite dishes:

General Tao’s Chicken,
Cantonese Chow Mein
and Steamed Snow Pea Leaves.

Jimmy suggested a lovely mushroom and tofu dish and… lobster.

Anyone who knows me well knows that as soon as my companion says they’re paying, my automatic response is, “I’ll have the lobster.”

At this event, you are encouraged to sit beside a total stranger and eat from the delicious food placed in its centre. Mix and mingle.

Sales from this event will support me in my efforts to exhibit my works of art in China. If I'm unable to do so, the monies will go to other projects. The exhibition in China is being curated by Shanghai Yude Exhibition Company Ltd. It is not too late for me to participate, although I missed a television interview.

There is still time for me to ship my work to China and to possibly travel there. The exhibition ends on July 10^th, 2013. I missed a television interview, but expect to be able to make up for lost time. There is always a way.

Purchase works of art that some of my clients asked me to exhibit in Toronto:

A Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald

A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix and

A Tribute to Stevie Wonder
