Taste for a Cure

Saturday we had our "Taste for a Cure" Wine and Cheese Event. While attendance at the event was less than we hoped for, the money raised, along with the raffle ticket sales, was $831. This will go to the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society Light the Night Walk to raise money for research and finding a cure for blood cancers.

Our Hosts - Donny and Wendy

Ken and Wendy - Cuttin' the Cheese!



Thanks to our contributors, we had lots of wine available to taste and as you can see....LOTS of cheese and fruit too.

It made for a lovely presentation.


Ken checks on all the raffle prizes.


Wendy starts off pouring some of the whites. It was wonderful to have Donna there to be able to share her knowledge of wines.
Not only is she a good friend and neighbor of Donny and Wendy, but she works at Chateau St. Michelle Winery! It was a beautiful day to enjoy wine and cheese with friends.
Kathy is thrilled to win the wreath Sydnie made.


Donna was especially lucky to have her name drawn twice. It helped that she had a lot of tickets in the bowl.
Young Sean, another neighbor, won the 1.5 liter Red Sky, which his parents will enjoy.

Sean was rewarded with a Light the Night bear for his winning ticket.
