In loving memory of Martin Bailey. We dedicate this fundraiser to raise funds for the Martin Bailey's Garden at Wisdom High School. This project will provide Wisdom High School with a sustainable green space in the school that can produce resources to students including food, educational, and employment opportunities. Upon creation, it can also be used as a space for live teaching, while building agricultural, business skills, a sense of personal responsibility and opportunities for teamwork.

The wines for the Rotary Wine Appreciation Fellowship Dinner have been hand selected by Wine Educator and Sommelier Stephanie Earthman Baird. The wine pairings are designed to enhance each dinner course crafted by Chef Pedersen and take you on a worldwide tasting journey. The evening will start with a lively Prosecco, a sparkling treat from a protected area of northern Italy. From Italy, your taste buds will travel to the south of France and be treated to a white blend of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, and Rousanne. The second course will feature a Malagousia, a refreshing white wine from southern Greece. Three red wines will enter the picture with a California Pinot Noir, Washington State Red Blend, and an Australian Shiraz to accompany the next three courses. The dessert course will end with an unexpected wine pairing designed to cap off your evening with a smile.
