Vino flowed and checkbooks opened as the Friends of the Addison Township Public Library hosted a wine tasting and silent auction at Addison Oaks Oct. 25.
More than 110 people attended the fund-raiser, which generated over $5,000 for the Friends? efforts to someday build a new township library with loads more space, modern amenities and a larger collection.
Attendees sampled and purchased a variety of wines from France, Argentina, South Africa, Australia and California.
The tasting was organized by the Oxford Wine & Beverage Co. (11 S. Washington St.) owned by Dean Rondy, who was on hand to answer questions and dispense charm.
During the silent auction, attendees bid on 78 lots including cigars, art work, an autographed puck from Ted Lindsay and a day with the Addison Twp. Fire Department.
A sumptuous gourmet buffet, created by Addison Oaks? kitchen staff, perfectly complemented the wines and enhanced the entire evening
