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.
