Last night we participated in an early St. Patrick’s Day dinner that will benefit children in Tanzania. Tickets for dinner included Irish stew, salad, ½ corn beef sandwich and dessert. The event began at 6pm with numerous snacks including spicy mixed nibbles, animal crackers and pretzels. All of this for a twenty dollar ticket. Beer and wine were available for a small fee. The wines chosen to be served were boxed wines. I had a light, sweet wine that was okay but not memorable. However this was for a worthy cause and so I didn’t mind. A local band provided live Irish music and there was a performance of Irish music. It was a delightful time for everyone and all for a good cause – The Tanzanian Children’s Project.

The Tanzanian Children’s Project seeks to build a medical clinic that will provide health care to those living in Mahida, Tanzania. More information about the Tanzanian Children’s Project is available at the website: www.TanzaniaKids.org.

If you are looking for a way to help others in need, consider a fundraiser at a winery. Wineries are great places to hold fundraisers. Participants can have a delightful time and also help others in need.

Cheers! Kathy
