Auction News – January 23, 2018

 

Auction Wine Tasting was a Great Success!

We want to thank the over 65 people who attended the Auction Wine Tasting event last Friday. We tasted some truly delicious wines, and the wines with the winning votes will be offered for purchase at the Auction in April. We also had a taste of the Gifford Hirlinger wines that will be served at the Auction – and the response these offerings was fantastic. We raised over $2,000 to help underwrite the Auction, thank you! We look forward to seeing you all on Friday, April 20th at Fremont Studios for the Auction itself, we have some amazing items!

We would also like to thank CJ Dean and Julie Skinner for coordinating an amazing event and the many volunteers who helped make it happen: Lisa Collins, Irene Wainaina, Nancy Alton, Lisette Nenninger, Mary Kearney, Andrew & Lauren Exnicios, Brian & Rachel Berryessa and Betsy Rivera were on hand to set-up, serve and clean-up. Thank you! We also would like to thank the following people for donating delicious appetizers and desserts: Meg Deines, Kristen Capka, Julie Skinner, Rachel Berryessa, Nancy Alton, Barb Folger, Katie Sawicki, Sonja Stella, Karen Bombino, Lisette Nenninger, Maggie Difenbach, Jenny Dahl, Jaime Riley and Monica Overby. Also a special thanks to Doug Willson for donating the beer.
