have a silent and live auction, and of course a live Drag Queen show not
to be missed.”
The purpose of the *Abundance Foundation*
(http://theabundancefoundation.org/) purpose is to increase the public
awareness of sustainable energy usage and local food consumption. The
corporation’s goal is to create programs that can model how human beings

regionally and nationally recognized visual artists. Each year, Guild
members open their studios to the public through the Chatham Open Studio
Tour. Visitors travel throughout lovely rural Chatham County to meet
artists in their own work spaces, and share their ideas on art and the
creative process.
The *General Store Café* (http://www.thegeneralstorecafe.com) is at the
center of Chatham cultural activities, displaying its art, and featuring
its musicians. It is open 6 days a week for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner, and serves Sunday brunch. With articles in the Bon Appétit and
Southern Living Magazine as well as numerous newspapers throughout the
Triangle area, the café has become a favorite community gathering place
as well as a destination for a lot of new folks.
