Announcements:

Anna Williams - Viking Night this Thursday, Rotary has a table. Remaining tickets were given out.

 

G&G Update:

  • Barry Kramer - 23 wineries committed thus far. Pre-orders this year will include a larger selection, not just what will be sampled. A wine list will be distributed to in the near future which will also included recommended wines.

 

To all Rotarians - Please use G&G as a means of stocking up/buying your wine this holiday season as this is expected to 1) account for a significant portion of our fundraising efforts for G&G 2) is a huge incentive for our wineries to come back every year and make it financially viable for them and 3) all pre-orders will be sold at a discount thus it will be a great opportunity to buy.
