Live Auction Wine Raffle Needs Donations!!

LIVE AUCTION WINE RAFFLE – Please donate!
We will be holding our annual Wine Raffle at the Live Auction Party on May 4th.
Liz Patterson and Gail Shapiro are collecting the wines this year.  We would love for as many of you as possible to donate a bottle of wine.  We are asking for wines valued at $20 or more, with ratings of 90 or higher from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, or Wine Enthusiast (you may also donate a nice champagne, special liquor, etc.).  So please reach into your wine cellar, fridge, wine rack or visit the local stores and bring your donations directly to Liz or Gail.  Donations can be dropped off anytime to the Shapiro-Moore Home at 460 22nd Street (a collection box will be on the porch if no one is home).  Please email Liz with any questions at lizpz@yahoo.com .  We would appreciate receiving all donations no later than April 26th.  
The Wine Raffle is an assortment of 52+ bottles of great wine or spirits (donated by Franklin parents) which is raffled off as one big, impressive collection on the night of the event.  Each raffle ticket bought at the Live Auction Party sells for $100.  Each ticket is a card from a deck of cards.  This 52 card raffle makes an instant $5,200 for Franklin on the night of that event!
