To benefit The Commons and Nuevos Comienzos, the staff held a Guatemalan Mercado on Saturday. As always, the bright colors of jewelry, clothing items, table cloths and placemats, practical items of bags of every size and shape, as well as just for-fun objects created by women artisans in Guatemala covered the tables in The Commons.
