There are those in our community with empty bowls. Let's help fill them. Empty Bowls Garrett comes to Wisp Resort on Sunday, September 20, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Share a soup supper in support of local food programs, and take home a keepsake handmade bowl. Proceeds benefit local food programs from Garrett County Community Action, including the 360 Access Hub, Meals on Wheels, senior dining halls, the emergency food pantry, and more. Tickets and info -- including how you can make bowls -- are at EmptyBowlsGarrett.org. Presented by Deep Creek Pottery, Community Works Garrett, Wisp Resort, and Garrett County Community Action.
Looking for a fun group activity that also helps the community? Deep Creek Pottery invites you to gather your friends, coworkers, or club and make an empty bowl to help fight hunger in Garrett County. Gather a group of at least 6 people. Cost is $10-$15 per person. Set up a time that works for your group, and bring snacks and wine if you'd like. Make a bowl using pinch, coil, or slab techniques under the guidance of a skilled potter -- or paint an already-fired bowl with help from the instructor. Your bowls will be fired, finished, and donated to the Empty Bowls Dinner this fall, which raises funds to fight food insecurity in Garrett County. Go home knowing your group did something good for the community while having fun together. The Empty Bowls Dinner will be held on September 20, 2026, at Wisp Resort for the benefit of Garrett County Community Action Food Security Programs. To schedule your group, contact Deep Creek Pottery, 1550 Deep Creek Drive, McHenry, MD. Call 301-501-1619 or email deepcreekpottery@gmail.com. UNTIL AUGUST 31

The Oakland Writers’ & Literature (OWL) Club is a group of 18 years and older writing enthusiasts, tackling a common feeling among writers: the need for some encouragement to write. The focus of OWL is to provide a community for writers to share and workshop their own work, and sometimes the work of published authors. The group uses tools of analysis to identify the literal meanings and themes of all genres of writing, while also discussing the things that most stand out in the work. The OWL club meets Wednesdays at 6:30 at the Main (Oakland) Library, and is an open community where writers can pop in and pop out from week to week and always feel included and welcome when they return. Writings/readings are scheduled in advance of meetings using OWL's community sign-up sheet. The OWL mailing list* is used for distributing this work. Meetings also include weekly writing prompts that attendees are encouraged (though not required) to read and share with the group. The club's weekly agenda is as follows: 6:30 - 6:45 PM Quiet time writing for the prompt 6:45 - 7:15 PM Reading and sharing prompt writing(s) 7:15 - 8:00 PM […]
