THIRD ANNUAL WINE TASTING CELEBRATED OUR NATION'S 250TH BIRTHDAY
On March 14, we hosted 75 attendees at our third annual Wine Tasting - another successful and tasty event! Honoring the 250th Anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, we featured all US wines from California, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Washington - and, of course, Missouri. Our very own wine aficionados, Guillo Rodriguez and Gail Appleson, personally introduced each wine to our guests, greatly enhancing their enjoyment. The net proceeds of about $1,600 will benefit several of the Rotary Club’s local projects, including scholarships for high school seniors. Attendees also graciously donated $360 to Metro St. Louis Rotary InterCity Fellowship's project to pay for eye surgeries in third-world nations.
