The planning committee for the Souper Bowl fundraiser wishes to thank the Butler community for its incredible support of our inaugural event on Oct. 18, that raised funds for both the Butler Art Center and the Community Meals Ministries.

We were able to provide attendees with tasty soup, bread and desserts, a bake sale, premier entertainment from the Butler County Symphony, and wonderful art from local artists.

It takes a village of dedicated workers to coordinate such a wonderful gathering and we thank everyone in our community for supporting us with their talent and generosity.

Becky Plymale, Butler City, and Justine Brown, Butler Township, both Community Meals and Art Center Planning committee members
