Wine Trading Pool: We will be having a wine trading pool at this meeting. All who want to participate please bring one of your own bottles or a $10.00 or higher commercial bottle to trade. If you have not experienced the pool yet I suggest you give it a try. It is a good way to expand your wine horizons.

 

PLEASE RSVP (Gary Arndt at sueandgaryarndt@gmail.com): If you have not already please RSVP, it only takes a minute to send me an email. It's important to RSVP so the host will have some idea of how many people to expect and whether I need to make a request for additional chairs and/or tables. Be sure to bring to the meeting:

§ A bottle of your own wine or a commercial wine valued at $10+ for taste § I want to suggest that everyone bring an entrée and a small side dish or dessert OR an entrée casserole (to avoid ending up with only side dishes) and besides I like lots of food.

§ Your own wine glass, paper plate and eating utensils.

§ Photos of club activities and newspaper clippings of WVAWS announcements for our scrapbook. Note: For the website I would also like to display pictures of our members in any wine related activity, e.g. if you visit a winery or wine dinner/tasting, etc. These pictures need to be sent to our Webmaster, Brant Dutton. When sending try and keep the pictures size to 300K or less with a jpg extension.

 

ACTIVITY CHAIRMAN: Wally Darling, besides being Vice President, Wally is our Activity Chairman so if any of you out there know of any activities that are coming up that may be of interest to our membership please email darling.wally@gmail.com; or call Wally. Check your Society Directory, on the member’s only link, for his phone number
