Hello all,
Thanks to everyone who made it to last month's event at Mr. Smith's!
We have a very special event planned this month! Come join us at the super chic down town wine bar, Press Club.
Press Club is a wine country experience in the heart of San Francisco, offering an exclusive array of wines direct from eight of Northern California’s most acclaimed wineries. The luxuriously modern interior features dedicated tasting bars, social sipping lounges and a retail store.
This event will also serve as a fundraiser for the 2009 AIDS Lifecycle, a 525 mile bike ride from SF to LA, where I will be joining 2500 other riders to raise money for the SF AIDS Foundation. This ride raises millions of dollars for treatment and prevention of HIV and AIDS, and is a VERY worthy cause!
Here are the ways you can make a contribution:
1)Press club has been gracious enough to donate 10% of proceeds from select retail wine bottle sales. So don't forget to check out the retail shop on your way out, and take home some amazing wine, while helping those living with HIV / AIDS!
2)You can make an easy online donation by visiting my donation site: www.tofighthiv.org/site/TR/AIDSLIFECYCLE8/AIDSLifeCycleCenter?px=1129352&pg=personal&fr_id=1070
3)There will be cash boxes disbersed around the venue at the event.
We have 4 very gracious sponsors for this month's event:
