Enjoy the music played by Arnold Yzaguirre and then the program starts at 1:25:30 in the video.
Join MRC for an evening of delicious food, wonderful company, and learning about MRC's programs. This event will be held entirely outside in the beautiful gardens of Mercury Hall. You'll enjoy delicious small bites made by great Austin chefs, including some made with New Leaf Farm produce. There will be live music, a silent auction, and local beers and wine in addition to signature cocktails.
Embrace the times in picnic style! Guests will be seated in pods for your protection. There are two seating options: tables and picnic blankets. If you choose to enjoy this event in true picnic style, you'll receive a blanket made by the Open Arms Studio to use during the event and to take home with you as a keepsake.
Your support makes it possible for MRC to continue creating livelihood opportunities for refugees. Thank you.
NOTE: If there is inclement weather, or the event is unsafe to hold because of COVID, we will switch the event to an entirely virtual experience. We are not able to offer ticket refunds.
