ThankYou!

It was a celebration of all things pink!  Our Board Secretary, Marie Pietraszewski, presented our tasting of "Pink" wine, and what a wonderful presentation it was.  We tasted rose wine from France, Italy, Spain and the U.S.  In the process, we learned a bit about breast cancer, and the success that we've made in fighting this disease.  Thank you, Marie, for your selection of the wines and the information.

We thank, also, our last-minute hosts for preparing the pink food to go with the pink wines.  Thanks to Mary Ann Hirt, Kevin and Bob Dering, Terry Germanoski, and again Marie.
