Fresh Market Fund Raiser

Our first Fundraiser, April 17th at the Fresh Market was a great success. We had over 250 people. The food and wine were superb, and the attendees were all happy with the event. We appreciate the help all the volunteers and ticket sellers whose efforts made the wine tasting a success.

NEXT WINE TASTING: APRIL 2008

Because of the successful wine tasting event, we asked the Fresh Market to allow us to have the event again next year. They graciously agreed, and we are planning to have another in April of 2008. A date will be announced in the fall. Plan to attend!!

Below are some photos taken during the event by our Vice-President, Murray Glusman, OD.

Large selection of wines was available.
