The Fourth Annual Chocolate and Wine Festival once again benefited both the Association and the hospital. It was the biggest yet, and committee chairperson Tom Follert (of Chocolates by Leopold) delivered a check for $10,000! We're very grateful to have been chosen as one of the beneficiaries, and we thank the Chocolate & Wine Festival Board and Committee members and the many volunteers who made the Festival a success.

The Chocolate and Wine Festival is held on the third Saturday in May, so in 2012 the date will be May 19th, from 3pm to 7pm. Visit their website for more details on this exciting event, which features "lots of great music, arts and crafts, wine & chocolate recipe demonstrations, wine making lectures and gourmet food & fine chocolate candy samplings that make a perfect backdrop for wine, wine, wine!"
