It has been a long winter, a strange winter, a winter of financial burden for many of us with soaring fuel prices, food prices and strange weather conditions. Circumstances effecting not only our life style, but the existence of the Organization.

Now that spring has arrived, it is time to renew our outlook on the improvement of our Organization. Set ourselves some strict goals and implement them to their highest possibility.

Goals for 2006:

Increase our membership:
     So we can operate as a self supporting institute

Establish our Education Classes:
     So we can increase our financial stability

Hold Monthly Dinner Meetings:
     So we can enjoy the Organizations Comradery

Establish a Quarterly Magazine:
     So we can better inform ourselves and the surrounding community

These may seem as strict goals to reach, but with the assistance of our membership, sponsors and volunteers, no bridge is too tall or too hard to cross. With your support and wisdom we can become the most highly respected Organization within the Wine Community.

If you know of anyone who can assist us in reaching these goals or if you have any ideas and time to implement them, feel free to email me at:
