Wine Around the World Fundraiser
October 14, 2023 @ 7:00 pm
The Fond du Lac Morning Rotary Club 31st signature wine tasting event is set for Saturday, October 14, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. at Marian University- Stayer Center.
Over one hundred different wines and thirty-plus carefully selected beers from around the world will allow for unlimited tastings.
The annual event combines wine, beers, a variety of bourbons, food, and socializing and will feature silent auction items including vacation packages; sports outings; artwork; a 50/50 cash prize raffle and more.
Join in discovering great wines from around the world and tasty hors d’oeuvres while supporting literacy. The proceeds from this event will benefit the Read 4 Life program. This program is focused on supporting and encouraging reading among early readers (first grade). It does this by providing eight books to first grade classrooms and teachers in the Fond du Lac Public Schools. Books are shared and discussed with students. Read 4 Life students are asked to select their favorite book from the eight donated books. In a reading celebration at the end of the year, students from all nine schools gather with their teachers and volunteers to celebrate reading. Each student receives a copy of their favorite book along with a Read 4 Life t-shirt and backpack.
“Fond du Lac Morning Rotary has donated more than 1 million dollars to support local and international projects” shared Chairperson, Kate Candee. “Wine Around the World is one of the club’s two major fundraisers”.
General admission tickets are $75 and may be purchased online at www.hometowntickets.com
