ALCOHOL COLLECTION FOR TASTE OF INDIA FUNDRAISER
We’re starting early this year with our alcohol collection for the annual Taste of India fundraising event! Last year’s event was a huge success, thanks to the incredible support from our members, and we’re aiming to make this year even better.
Our goal is to collect 100 bottles of wine and other alcohol. Please bring your donations to our lunch meetings and give them to Jane Tench, who is collecting on behalf of the club. If you’d prefer, cash donations are also welcome, and we’ll use them to purchase bottles for the fundraiser.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us kick off the preparations for another amazing Taste of India event!
