MIDDLETOWN — MARC: Community Resources
presents Red, White & Blush: A Wine
Tasting Event on Saturday, April 27TH from 6-9 PM at Beckham
Hall, Wesleyan University’s premier event space. Tickets are $25/person.
Forest City Wine & Spirits in
Middletown has arranged for 16 Connecticut-based distributors to provide
tastings of more than 70 wines and beer. All wines and
beer will be available to order at the event, with proceeds donated to MARC:
Community Resources.
Bon Appetit will provide a light fare,
including servers circulating the room with hot hors d’oeuvres. The event is sponsored by A.R. Mazzotta Employment
Specialists, Greenwald Industries and Liberty Bank. Parking is free. I.D. is required. For
event and parking information and to order tickets, visit www.marccommunityresources.org
or call 860-342-0700, ext. 210.
Guests can enter a drawing for an iPad
mini, a Nexus 7 tablet, and a case of the event’s most popular wines. New this
year is a small silent auction featuring suites to a New Britain Rock Cats and
a CT Whale game, “Best of Downtown Middletown” packages, and lunch for two and
the opportunity to attend a taping of Better
Connecticut with Channel 3’s Scot Haney.
“More than 360 people attended our
inaugural wine tasting last year, making this one of Middletown’s largest social
events,” said Liz Warner, President/CEO. “Guests will enjoy a fun night out
while sampling a great selection of wines – all at an unbeatable price of only
$25.”
All proceeds benefit MARC’s Adult Skill
Development & Leisure Program and the Saturday Morning Fun & Friends program
for children. These programs provide community-based recreation opportunities for people with disabilities. Activities
contribute to an improved quality of life by promoting health and wellness, personal growth,
and safety.
“Many people with disabilities lack
leisure activities on the evenings and weekends,” said Lisa Christensen,
Director of Adult Recreation. “As a result, many still experience instances of
isolation and exclusion. We provide opportunities to practice the skills that
lead to inclusive, independent and fulfilling lives.”
