2019 WTFP Planning Committee Members:

Yesterday when Lillian and I were working out a date for our get together, it became apparent that when we added in the folks who had helped but not been part of the planning committee that we would be wiser to expand the invitation to all members and their spouses/partners.

The one draw back is that we have to have a rain date, as we can only accommodate 16 in the house-in the event of rain.

As a result, we have set aside

Saturday, June 29th

and

Sunday, June 30th(rain date)

beginning at 4 pm.

2019 WTFP Report + Proposal for 2020

Posted by Barbara Robins on Jun 06, 2019

GOOD NEWS!

The 2019 French Wine Tasting & Food Pairing

earned $10 289.71 after expenses of $11 486.37.

Net raffle earnings of $2361.08 from the sale of 350 raffle tickets must be spent on local projects, as decreed by the rules of the Alcohol & Gaming Commission of Ontario, as they relate to raffles.
The remaining $7928.63, of which $6235 was earned through the silent and live auctions may be used to do good both locally and internationally, as the club sees fit.
128 guests (16 tables of 8) paid $85 per person that covered the cost of wine, food and entertainment as projected.
8 sponsorships of $250 + a donation of $300, paid the remaining expenses and provided profit for the event.

The 2019 Planning Committee recommends that we hold

a 2020 “Wine Tasting & Food Pairing” fundraiser at West Haven,

celebrating the wines and foods of PORTUGAL

on Saturday, April 18, 2020

with an anticipated goal of $10 000 profit.

Debrief for the 2019 WTFP

Posted by Barbara Robins on May 25, 2019

Please let me know if you plan to attend our debrief for the 2019 WTFP set for this Thursday, May 30th at 7pm at my place….

As mentioned earlier we need to determine:

What to keep
What to discard
What to tweak if we hold a sixth WTFP next year.

I have asked for suggestions from Diane Knoppert and Sheldon Hines as well as from West Haven.

I have tentatively booked Saturday, April 18, 2020 in the event that the committee, the board and the club agree to hold a sixth event next year.

West Haven has requested that we go back to 120 guests and have 6 courses including dessert.

If we recommend holding a sixth WTFP with the suggestions for improvement, we need to include:

Country to celebrate
Names of people who are willing to serve on the planning committee for a 2020 event ( Diane Knoppert is considering joining the committee.)

Look forward to seeing as many of the committee as possible on Thursday.

Once we have met, I will prepare a report to be sent to the board and to be presented to the club for consideration…hopefully at our June 6th breakfast meeting.

Thanks everyone for all your work. As in the past we will plan for a BBQ here later in June to celebrate.
