hey friends! here's the down low for this month:
thank you aaron for hosting us this month! our featured organization is Yobel Market! you may have heard of them before. they are a local empowerment/fair trade organization that is an incredible effort to be a voice for the voiceless in the 3rd world. check out their website: www.yobelmarket.com or wait a few weeks and visit their newly opened store in old colorado city!
thank you fantastic musicians who have added their names to our music line up this month:
sue ellen and crew
rachel brown
sara j beck
tyler (the fiddler returns!)
as far as art goes: just you wait and see!
if you are interested in bringing desserts, please do! let us know if that is your plan.
don’t forget a few bucks for the suggested cover charge…100% goes toward our featured organization.
peace out homies
(also, thanks to all who joined in the fun last month! we raised a whopping $395 for El Comedor in Cordoba, Argentina! those kids are so thankful!)

April DH!
with the warmer weather of spring rolling in, we thought we'd do DH this month at a spot with outdoor options...aka: a backyard! thanks, ken, for hosting!
the evening's happening:
Thursday, April 22, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: Kind Ken's Kasa
Street: 6590 Snowbird Dr
City/Town: Colorado Springs, CO
many of you know or have heard of the infamous - er - ever popular Trevor Shrock. this friend of ours is adventuring in Argentina right now and for some months to come. he's encountered an incredibly generous group of people down there called El Comedor. they work with and feed the street children in Cordoba, Argentina. this month's mula will be going to El Comedor to further their efforts to change the lives of those kids who’ve been forgotten and looked over for way too long.
the music lineup is stunning, as usual:
sean reilly
sara j beck
ben presner
tyler griffith (our newest DH musician! and a fiddle player to boot!)
and possibly a few other surprise guests!
if you are or know an artist, you are most welcome to join the fun! i might be breaking out the paints to get something on canvas myself!
and, of course, we must have desserts in order to have a DessertHouse! if you want to make a tasty treat, we will be most obliging! contact sara j beck to let her know you’re in!
all in all, this is shaping up to be a fantastic evening…we hope you are a part of it!

February 2010 DH
$32 billion every year.
don't mean to sound dramatic but that's an eye catching figure. it's how much is generated annually due to the movement of human slaves. last month we focused specifically on sex slavery. this month we're connecting with Love146 (www.love146.org) to educate ourselves and assist others caught in this broader cycle of injustice...the reality of human slavery.
thanks to the ross's for hosting. if you've ever been to dogtooth cafe downtown, their place is just across the way from there. (see address)
much preemptive gratitude to all the musicians and artists coming around...seriously friends...this will be the best desserthouse yet. anyone like some local, live music? (including but not limited to names such as: ben p, charles b, grant s, and possibly even our dear sara j beck)
if you are or know an artist...feel free to jump in! we'll have a few creative guests present and are always up for more!
i'm super jealous cuz i won't be there this month, so you should enjoy this month's dh doubly for me!
if you are interested in showing off your mad dessert making skills we'd love to have your culinary awesomeness join the fun. message sara schlotterbeck if you can bring something.

Time: 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: Casa Corona (home of the Ross's)

DH January 2010
dude! i just realized i haven't updated the blog in a while! so sorry, friends!
Just want to thank all you lovely people who came out for DessertHouse January. Quite possibly the best night of music yet! Much love to all who contributed time, talent and mula! We got $460 total for the Home of Hope in Moldova. They'll be super thankful!
-Shanna
below is the invite info for january's desserthouse...its already happened, so keep an eye out for february's desserthouse event info!
happy new year to you!
this month's featured cause is Human Trafficking, and our organization is Home of Hope - Moldova. this is a safe house run by friends of ours who are working to bring restoration and security to women who have been rescued from sex slavery. if you don't know what human trafficking is or if you do and want to help make a difference, tonight is the night for you.their website is http://www.harvestmoldova.com/ministries/home-of-hope
okay, so i may have accidentally forgotten about the offer of einstein's bagels last month at desserthouse...but rest assured, friends, it is on my calendar - i will not forget this time!
our music and artists line up will be awesome (as always)...i just don't remember who is playing this time around :) if you wanna know, come and find out! if you've never been before...you won't regret joining us!
$10 = super do-able for each of us. its not required to get in, but if all of us gave $10 we could really do some serious assisting this month for the women and children who have no one to help them in moldova. bring some cash if you have it...if not, we still love you.

Hello Friends!!! I won't keep you long, but be sure to read down to the bottom of this invite...your tastebuds will thank you!
We are so excited about this month's DessertHouse!
Many thanks to Whole Foods for so graciously hosting our event this month! Our featured nonprofit can be found at: http://www.wholeplanetfoundation.org/
Checkout the Whole Planet website...through this organization, Whole Foods is doing some awesome microfinancing work in the same communities where many of the products you and I purchase from their store are sourced.
Our music line up is most wonderful...
Sean Reilly...potential future DH host, yes sir ree
Sara J Beck, words are not adequate.
Charles and dear Rachel Brown (happy birthday week Charles)
Lincoln, the one and only
Art is TBA...sorry if this puts you in an unreasonable amount of suspense.
The suggested $10 at the door wil be a bit different this time around. We'll have a jar by the musicians and you can give as you feel led. As with every month, all proceeds go directly to our feature group of cool people doing cool things.
What would DessertHouse be without dessert, fair trade coffee, and fair trade tea?! What would DessertHouse at Whole Foods be without Whole Foods bakery desserts?! Come ready for not only Whole Foods made desserts, but some free food tasting around the store as well! (show up before 7pm if you are excited bout the food tasting)
Okay folks, hope to see you there. Blue star if you are able to show up, sad day if not!
