Second annual Sappho’s Solstice Salon for lesbians and their friends. This year we are delighted to present the outstanding spoken word and performance talents of C.C. Carter, and the POW-WOW Finer Figure Performance Ensemble, who will be performing “A Sultry, Sexy Season,” a provocative blend of dance and poetry garnished with a sprig of mistletoe. DJ SpinNikki will play an eclectic blend of multi-traditional and non-denominational holiday music before and after the performance. Mulled wine and other seasonal goodies, collecting donations of cash, winter hats, mittens, socks, sheets, blankets, and pillowcases, towels, toiletries such as unused/unopened soap, toothbrushes,toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, and new, unused children's underclothes, to benefit Clara’s House, a 22-year old shelter for homeless and battered women in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood, that recently lost its funding and is struggling to stay open. 100% of the proceeds will benefit Clara’s House. $7-10 sliding scale includes food and wine.
