COVID has made life wild and weird - and it has also given us some unique opportunities.

Coming up in our silent auction will be THIS unique opportunity - to sit via Zoom and chat about wines with Matt Pridgen while sipping 1998 Chateau Calon-Segur Grand Cru Classe Bordeaux.

Matt Pridgen is the general manager, beverage director of Underbelly Hospitality, and wine director of One/Fifth. https://www.underbellyhospitality.com/team/matthew-pridgen/?fbclid=IwAR1runMlwVcLimuKMnmwSO0tfYM3F0paBvBFGLqU1tAlT018H1k6ZToP5i0

And while discussing your newest collection of vintage French wines, shown below (zoom in, yes they really are that old and gorgeous).

Donated by Denise Peterson, these are some of her Dad's very favorite wines from his personal collection.

To do this, though, in this crazy COVID time, we need your help! We need *sponsors* - either donate unique fun stuff or even better, in these covid-crazy times, SHARE YOUR TALENTS WITH US! I have seen you all making cocktails, doing crazy baking, woodworking, listened to you sing, and play instruments.

Yes, much like Uncle Sam, we want YOU!

Hugin here.

When Denise & Denise (aka Denise^2) began this whole journey, they thought they might collect a couple dozen socks. And that would be a terrific result.

And then you all blew them away. There has been dancing and happy noises, ferocious ripping open of boxes, and nap interruptions.

NAP INTERRUPTIONS.

However, I am rather fond of the humans April and Robert Prim, and so have blessed the socks that arrived today with the paw of approval.

To the humans Michael Fortner, Erin Rierson, and Georgiana Nelson, my thanks. Your cash donations have pushed the sock drive to almost $550.00 as of today. And cash is so much quieter. No ripping.

To the rest of the humans out there, can you make this break $1,000.00 by Friday? It makes my human happy and then I get more treats. Which I deserve. For the nap interruptions.

In less than a week, on top of socks showing up everywhere - people have donated $350.00! THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS! Let's keep this going - every amount helps!

It may be warm this week, but we all know the cold and wet are coming. Socks make a huge difference to the health and safety of our homeless.

Thank you!
