With summer winding down and children trying to be excited about going back to school, we at BPWEV are excited about granting (3) $1,000 scholarships to very deserving ladies this summer. We have followed one of our recipients through her education progress more than once.

On this note, we are gearing up for our 14th Annual Wine Tasting Passport scheduled for October 25th from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Rumours Wine Bar in Englewood. Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 at the door. Through this major fundraiser, we have been able to provide scholarships to adult learners in the past. All the information is on our website (bpwev.org). Tickets can be purchased through the website. There are also sponsor opportunities from providing a beautiful gift basket (separate raffle) to $500 for a Diamond Sponsorship, $250 for the Platinum Sponsorship, $150 for the Gold Sponsorship and $75 for the Silver Sponsorship. The top three levels include tickets to the event as well.

We want to welcome Kim Storie, a new member. Kim is a financial advisor with Edward Jones in Venice.

On a final note, BPWEV provides leadership opportunities for women in business and educational information to our members. If you are interested in becoming a member, this information is on our website. I am looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting.

Your President,

Sue Hogrefe
