Colorful invitations with a wine glass, plate and fork announcing the 14th annual Rotary Club of the Pelhams Tastings food and wine fundraiser on Oct. 14th —featuring more than 20 restaurants serving their signature dishes and Blue Dog Wines & Spirits, who is providing extensive wine tasting—are arriving by mail sent to residents of Pelham and Pelham Manor. Tickets are also available online at www.pelhamrotary.com

“We decided on a new look for the invitation this year, but the mission is the same,” said Betty Bucher, chairman of the Rotary Tastings Committee. “All proceeds support Rotary’s Gift of Life programs here and abroad that sponsor life-saving heart surgeries for children as well as local Rotary CPR programs for adults and young people.”

“With so many restaurants sharing their many varieties of food, guests can enjoy a meal and taste some wonderful wines, make a tax deductible donation and honor our three community leaders,” she added.

This year’s honorees are Clayton Bushong, The Picture House’s  Director Programming, Operations & Marketing and President of Pelham Chamber of Commerce; Josephine Catalano, Hebrew Home’s Director of Volunteer Programming and active member of St. Catharine’s Parish, and Syd Thayer, active member of Huguenot Memorial Church and past President of Pelham Children’s Center.

The event will be held from 4:00-7:00pm at Pelham Country Club.

Tickets are $100. If not buying tickets online, make check for $100 tickets payable to Pelham Rotary Charities Fund and mail the check to Rotary Club of the Pelhams, c/o Lyn Roth-Jacobs, President, 47 Iden Avnue, Pelham, NY 10803.
