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.
