Members and Society are Big Winners
A benefit wine tasting and raffle drawing proved to be a fun Saturday afternoon for those attending on April 19th. This event was a joint venture with Debbie Hebert, owner of Old Willow Wine Shoppe on Paddock Drive in Glenview.
Our Glenview merchants never cease to amaze me as to their generosity. Those included Abt, Ace Hardware, Bistro Monet, Hackney’s, North Suburban Florals, Charter I Bank, Johnny’s, Steve’s Auto Repair, Glenview Cycle, Marriott Courtyard, Wyndham Suites and Wildfire Restaurant.
Lovely raffle baskets and member donations came from Mary Lee Attea, Beverly Dawson, Mary Fisk, Mary Jane Stevens, Ace Realie, Chuck Getz and Deb Hebert.
Thank you to the 90 members who bought their raffle tickets in support of this benefit. That was a clear $900.00 to go toward the repairs on the farmhouse museum and help toward funding air-conditioning.
Glenview resident, Brian Mazzaferri provided music through out the afternoon and served as the announcer as he drew each winner from the ticket barrel. The following members’ lucky tickets were drawn by Brian: The Anstaetts, Helen Hill, Don Long, Corinne Spaulding, Bonnie Kersten, Mary Ellen Wolff, Judge Robert Downing, Mary Fisk, Kent Fuller, Toni Anderson, Pauline Girocco, T. Gallanis, John Sanderson, Dorothy Murphy, Norm Carlson, Vivian Frasier, The Howenstein’s, Mary Lou Nolan, Helen Bammesberger, and also Debbie Bales, Al Seiling, Lenore Pettinger, Pat Bruno, and Deb Hebert.
A huge thank you to the following members who gave of their time to help make the benefit a success: Bob Coffin, Beverly Dawson, Chuck Getz, Bonnie Kersten, Mary Lou Nolan, Ginny Petersen, Ace Realie and Mary Jane Stevens.
