Wine Tasting has "Grape" Expectations
(Posted: 10.30.07)

By Nancy Young, Club International Service Director!

George Washington may have slept at Slade's Inn, but it is doubtful that he had as much fun as the Hunt Valley Rotarians and their guests did on October 27.  Stuart and Allison Doriss, proprietors of Four Corners Wine and Spirits, and their knowledgeable staff delighted the palates of wine enthusiasts with a broad array of "cabs" from California, France, Australia and Chile.

Everything came together for a fantastic evening; the weather cleared, the sun came out and the people came.  They munched on great food, they sampled really fine wines, they talked, they networked, they ordered wine, and everyone left with a smile on their face. 
The event would not have been as successful as it was without many hours of behind-the-scenes work. Thanks to Bonnie McPhail for graphics, Jeanne Brandenburg for crafting the wooden cabs, Suzanne Amos for timely suggestions and ideas, Maria Santana and Karen Rucker for support, food ideas and catering service, the beautiful venue, Slade's Inn, and finally, the warm greeting of all the guests by the incomparable Irving and his beautiful wife Virginia. 

Seventy-five people attended and over $3,500 was raised. A portion of the proceeds will be contributed to the Malawi Water Project. A perfect evening for the very first Hunt Valley Wine Tasting fun, fund-raising event!

The Monkton Park Project design phase officially started May 8th with “Civic Works and “Street Scapes”!  Looking for ways to contribute?  Our Signature Bricks are available for sale NOW!  Visit The Friends of The NCR Trail for more information!

In 2000, Play It Smart was initiated in Baltimore at Patterson High School. Due to the tremendous success and impact, Play It Smart expanded to Forest Park in 2002 and Edmondon was added in 2004. Prior to Play It Smart, less than 25% of football players took the SAT.  Since its inception at Patterson,  79 seniors have participated in the Play It Smart program and 100% graduated on time.  In addition, 87% have been accepted in an institution of higher education.

We are pleased to join the Jonathan Ogden Foundation in supporting this worthwhile project here in Baltimore!   For more information visit The Play It Smart Program .

This year's exchange welcomed six medical professionals visiting from Rotary District 2220 from Western Russia.  The 2007 exchange will be with District 1600 in the Netherlands.
