Indian Village Woman’s Garden Club
Wine Tasting 2021
Monday, October 25, 6:00pm
This year the wine tasting will be a little different. It will be held at the splendid Players Club, 3321 E. Jefferson, at 6:00pm. You will want to dress up a bit, it is an elegant environment. Street parking is available. Bring a mask and be aware some people are still socially distancing. Since we are just coming out of the pandemic, food choices will be limited to cheese and crackers. Please, remember an empty stomach is not the best thing to bring to a wine tasting.
Members, Indian Village Woman’s Garden Club dues are being collected. Bring a check for $50 if you have not yet paid. Please invite a neighbor who may be interested in becoming a member of the Indian Village Woman’s Garden Club. This is our annual new member recruiting meeting.
The program for the evening is a competition between six wine. The club members, with some simple instructions, will be judging the wines. Selection winners will be purchased for refreshments at future meetings. The competitors are listed below.
