It has been a while since I have taken the time to blog. Lots has happened! If you are looking for my artwork, check out my Facebook page album...Cathy Staton Minerva. If you are looking for Earth Gaia, I am in the process of revamping the site. It will be devoted to Minervas Madness art exclusively. http://www.earthgaia.com I wish you all a joyous and healthy summer!

The Somer Thompson Foundation event

After an 8 hour drive to Florida, we got all set up and ready to rock! Even though there was not a tremendous amount of people traffic coming through early on, we managed to make about $1100 for the foundation.

Thanks to all who donated their art, handmade items and time to make this event happen. I know the Thompson family truly appreciated our efforts.

Soon I will be opening our Artisans & Musicians for JUSTICE shop at www.earthgaia.com
Check back in mid-June to see all the goodies for sale. All proceeds will go to the Somer Thompson Foundation.

The Somer Thompson Foundation

I a very pleased to announce I will be handling the silent auction at the 1st Annual Purple Sunshine Motorcycle Ride & Somer Concert. This is a very near and dear to my heart project. Event flyers are at www.bikerslove2ride4kids.com

Visit www.somerthompsonfoundation.org for event details and to see what the foundation is all about. No family should ever have to bear this type of tragedy.

If you are an artisan or crafter and would like to donate an item to the event, contact me at minervasmadness@gmail.com All donations are tax deductible.

Let's all get behind this wonderful foundation! Thank you!
