Wine Tasting on September 10
You, your family, and your friends are cordially invited A ROOFTOP WINETASTING AND AUCTION
at the HOTEL PROVIDENCE, 139 MATHEWSON STREET, featuring WONDERFUL WINES FROM SPAIN AND PORTUGAL on Friday, September 10, 2010.
Our expert sommelier will educate your palate while you enjoy the food, the music, and the company. There will be some wonderful surprises as well! This annual event, chaired by Dr. Gregg Allen, will support Elmhurst Extended Care, home to an innovative philosophy of care known as the "Eden Alternative." This unique program gives our respected elders the freedom of choice while surrounded by vibrant reminders of life, such as children, pets, and plant life. Your support is more important than ever before, given the state budget cuts and decline in reimbursements for nursing homes. If you have never been, we encourage you to join us for a wonderful evening of spirit(s); if you have enjoyed the experience before, we welcome you back!
Auction viewing begins at 5:30; cocktails from 6 to 9 pm. For more information, please call Kaitlin at 456-2413.
