Just a reminder that Silent Auction Coordinator, Wendy Ralph,
is still collecting those new knickknacks and gift items that
have been sent to you by your favorite wineries. You know, those
wine-related goodies that you set aside, hoping to someday find
a use for them and remain locked away in a closet in their original
packaging? Perhaps, it's even time to clean out your wine cellar.
We'll gladly accept bottles from your private wine collection,
take them off your hands, and will re-gift them into our Silent
Auction baskets!
Maybe you own a store or operate a business and are looking for
tax-deductible donations? Maybe the business you work for is looking
for ways to provide charitable donations. The OCWS is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization, which means that donations to the OCWS
are tax deductible. We can provide a receipt upon request.
Please bring donated items to any future OCWS meeting from now
until August and give them to Wendy Ralph, Kevin Coy, Janet Hammond,
or any Board Member. Wendy will arrange for a pick-up if you like,
just give her a call at 949.855-3031. You can also bring a donation
to the Wine Classic event on August 16, the day of the event.
Please be sure to include your name and phone number on any donated
item.
Raffle Coordinator, Greg Hagedorn, would also like to create
a Napa Valley or Sonoma County wine stay package as a grand prize
raffle item. If you have a friend who owns a winery or vineyard
and has a rental cottage on their property, we'd love to be able
to advertise it as our Grand Prize giveaway!
