Diamonds & Denim:  Please begin bringing in your bottles of wine for the Basket Raffle. Ingrid Flemming will collect and store them. This item brings in money and we are attempting to have a live-auction item “Wall of Wine”. We need around 80 bottles to accomplish this. Bottles of wine should be $20.00 to $25.00 in value. This is a very easy way to participate in the event
