Category: President's Letter

I wish all the members of our BPWEV a very Happy New Year. The decision has been made to move our major Winetasting fundraiser to March 7th to be held 201 Venice Avenue West at Venice Wine & Coffee. Tracy Silver, the owner, has graciously agreed to the new date. Because of the holidays, we were not obtaining sponsorship or selling tickets to make the event worthwhile. Hopefully, the additional time will allow us to prepare for our major fundraising event.

Our Holiday party was held at the Towers of Venice this year. This is an independent living facility. The staff was very hospitable, and we had salad, eggplant or lasagna, and cheesecake for dessert for a cost of $15.00. We were able to BYOB for the wine if you so desired.

The speaker for our January meeting is Xavier Pena, a music therapist. We will be having our January meeting at The Towers of Venice at 2921 Jacaranda Blvd. Our cost will be 15.00 for a full dinner with dessert. It is a BYOB as far as wine goes.

Please bring any baskets, gift cards, and sponsor form with money to the January BPWEV Meeting. In order to make the Winetasting a successful event, we need all members’ participation. I am hosting a Zoom Meeting every 2 weeks for follow-up. If you have not signed up for a committee, please let me know what you would like to do.

The board will present the Bylaws of the chapter that will be voted on at the January meeting. We need a quorum, therefore please plan to attend.

Best Regards,
Sue Hogrefe, President BPWEV
