Mark Your Calendars! Wine Tasting Event Scheduled for August 15!

We are very excited that Amerigo in East Memphis has offered to host a wine tasting event for our alumni group!  The date has been set for Monday, August 15 from 6-8 pm and it will include various wines and an expert with details about each as well as appetizers to compliment each one.  This will be a great time to meet other alumni in the area and to also discover a new favorite wine!  Amerigo has very generously given a price of only $20 per person which is for both the wine and the appetizers.  Friends and spouses are also welcome and are encouraged to come!  The more the merrier! 
There will also be someone available to collect your dues for the upcoming year so you won't have to hassle with mailing in a check.  Just bring it to the party! ($40 for regular members, $22 for life-loyal)
So come by after a long Monday at work and relax with some great wines! We can't wait to see all of you there!!  It's going to be a blast!
