Weekly Update 3/23

 Dear Wines Families, 

It’s hard to believe we are approaching Spring Break! For me, Spring Break is always the sign that we are approaching the last important stretch of the school year with lots to accomplish. It is also a time when we are busy working on plans for the fall as well. So it is a busy time, but also an exciting time. I must admit I am looking forward to a few days away to prepare for the final “sprint” of the school year. Here is the news for the week:

Wine for Wines—We Still Need More!

We need wine for Wines! Our auction this year will feature a wine toss, and we are hoping to collect around 75 bottles of wine to make this event fun and interesting, we currently have 30 (a big thanks to those who have already donated!). Wine donations of any value can be dropped off at the Wines office right after pickup (4pm) on March 24th.  If you have any questions, or if you need alternative arrangements for your wine donation (we are happy to pick up donations from porches through March 25th), please contact Jen Hofmeister at 734.355.6625. 

I hope everyone has a nice Spring Break. If you are traveling, I wish you safe travels. We’ll see you in April!
