Soroptimist
International of South Lake Tahoe’s was
held on Friday,
November 2nd, 2012 at Harrah's
Tahoe Convention Center Everyone enjoyed incredible wine
from Northern California’s top wineries and sampled a wide variety of
delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts from the South Shore’s finest
restaurants. “An Evening of Food & Wine Tasting” raises money to fund the
many projects and programs sponsored by Soroptimist International of South
Lake Tahoe. All proceeds are directed back into our community through
educational scholarships, youth activity sponsorships and grants to
organizations such as the Live Violence Free Center, Tahoe Youth and Family,
the Lake Tahoe Boys and Girls Club, and numerous projects that enhance
services and quality of life in our community. Tickets for the
Food & Wine event were $65 each and could be purchased from your favorite
SISLT member or through Eventbrite.
Please remember that all participants must be at least 21 to attend. Event
attendees had the opportunity to bid on a huge selection of fabulous items in
our silent auction. The silent auction featured fine wine, jewelry and art as
well as gift certificates for local restaurants, stores, hotels and
professional services. Raffle tickets offered a choice of three exceptional
prizes: Golf for 4 at Edgewood Golf course (value $800), a wine cellar with
20 bottles of premium wine (value $$1,000), and a beautiful hand-made queen
size quilt by local artisan Bobbi Cole. The event also featured the sale of
flashing “bling rings” which were used to raffle a high-value Grand Prize
vacation package. Each
year, our club asks artists from around the Tahoe area to submit entries for
our annual poster competition. For 2012, the poster competition was held in
July. The winning entry was designed by local art student, Matt Kauffmann,
and featured a surreal blue-violet scene with a moon sliver as the bowl of a
wine glass over Lake Tahoe. Kaufmann described his original design as “radtastic” and says the recognition from Soroptimist is
motivation to keep creating new work. Please be aware that this year’s
event date will not be known until sometime in September! Please stay tuned… If you have any questions or would like to
donate an item to next year’s event, contact Gina Wyneken-Soares, Wine Tasting Chair at
