Lots of activity at Pearl S. Buck International today...

It was an incredible day!  Pearl S. Buck International was rocking with activity.  Reed Technology & Information Systems http://www.reedtech.com/ hosted a Fall Festival for their employees in our beautiful garden tent.  Their event started off with a guided tour of the Pearl Buck House www.psbi.org/house and included a delicious pig roast provided by All About Catering http://www.all-about-catering.com/.  At the same time, the Rotary Club of Doylestown http://www.doylestownrotary.org/ gathered for their board meeting on the first floor of the Cultural Center, and immediately after held their membership meeting and a buffet dinner on the 2nd floor. Concurrently, in our main office, our Welcome House program www.psbi.org/welcomehouse hosted an open house information meeting for families to learn about our adoption programs, while our weekly Yoga class met in another area of the building. 

It was great to see so much activity and the legacy of Pearl Buck reaching out to so many people at the same time.

Sherry Tinsman Pearl Buck Bracelet

I'm so excited that Sherry Tinsman, well-known Bucks County Metalsmith, has designed a beautiful new bracelet which is being sold in the Pearl S. Buck International Gift Shop.  It will be sold online on our website in a few days.  You can see the photographs to know that it is beautiful and describes so well the founder of Pearl S. Buck International.  Sherry has been a jeweler for 21 years working out of her Bucks County Studio.  You can visit her website at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze1slqm/sherry_frames.htm.  Most importantly, come and visit the Pearl Buck House and our renovated International Gift Shop.  It is the first place you enter when visiting our international headquarters and is filled with beautiful items from around the world. 

Happy shopping,
