2023-07-29 17:30 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Salem Willows Yacht Club, 190 Fort Ave, Salem, MA, 01970, United States
Greetings All,
I can’t believe Wine in the Willows (July 29th) is just around the corner. As we have done over the past few years; all are welcome to bring a dish to share. Looking for a volunteer or two to help clean up after the pot luck portion is completed. Vicki and I will be pouring from 5:30-7:30PM. After which the party may continue if you choose… I’m sure there will be some wine left??
We will hold a 50/50 for the Veterans Cookout. Wishing you all good luck.. but there can only be one winner.
Sign up here: Capping the tasting at 35 people.
A preview of the tasting is available here. PLEASE BRING A GLASS, as glassware is limited at the club.
Thanks, and see you soon,
Geoff

Wine Tasting
2024-06-29 17:00 - 19:00 | Salem Willows Yacht Club, 190 Fort Ave, Salem, MA, 01970, United States
Wine in the Willows 6/29/24 Once again “Wine in the Willows” returns to the club. Mark your calendars for June 29th 5-7PM.
Vicki and I will be hosting the wine tasting again this year. As we are serving alcohol we cannot charge for this event. However, we will have a “voluntary” donation jar out to help offset the cost of the veteran’s appreciation day being held in July. We will cap the event at 40 people and ask that you all bring your favorite glass as there is usually a shortage of wine glasses at the club. Being in the late afternoon, it seems fitting that this also be a potluck gathering. Feel free to bring something to share with your clubmates. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
