PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last week we took a break from our regular meeting agenda and enjoyed a wine tasting hosted by Jeanne Maron, owner of The Gifted Cork in St. Augustine. Ms. Maron gave us samples of several excellent wines, paired with a fun and informative game of Wine Trivia! If you weren't there, you missed a great program and will have to wait until next year to have another opportunity.
