We have raised $1,420 to date for the Arthritis foundation

Hi Everyone:

Thanks to the 24 members of our group who attended the superb wine dinner on march 20th
at the Wine Shoppe Bistro in Dublin. We have raised $1,420 to date for the Arthritis foundation.


Thanks to Bob Monica of the Wine Shoppe Bistro for an excellent presentation on the 5 wines which
were paired with our meal. The wine list is located here:

I especially enjoyed the 2005 Layer Cake Barossa Shiraz which had a superb nose and an intense boquet of blackberry and cherries.


Congratulations to our Carribbean Cruise semi-finalists Donna Riggs (March's winner) as well as Kurt & Rachel Wolf (February's winners)!

Donna Riggs won the drawing tonight of all 11 folks donating $20 or more to our selected charity, the Arthritis Foundation of Central Ohio. Donna, Kurt & Rachel will be among the 3 semi-finalists in the drawing to be held at our April meeting for the winner of the 4-day Carribean cruise for 2. The third and FINAL semi-finalist will be drawn at the April 17th meeting, su be sure to attend!

We collected $300 in donations on Tuesday night and have collected $1,420.00 to date for the Arthritis Foundation. If you would like to participate in the drawing to be a semi-finalist for the cruise for 2 (minimum donation is $20) simply click on this secure link and make your donation. You do NOT need to be present at our April meeting to be selected as a semi-finalist. Odds of winning at our March meeting were 1 in 11 ( 9%)!!
