French Fling: A Wine-Tasting Experience

On Friday, February 27, 2009, over 260 people attended the 1st Annual Wine Tasting event that was sponsored by our local Edmonton Kinsmen Club. It was a huge success raising $17,000 that will help to fund research to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis!

Special thanks to Nick Lees who came out to emcee, Leighton Sorenson who was our live auctioneer for the evening, and we had another special guest, J'lyn Nye, who has been a great supporter of raising funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis. She brought in a great amount of money on this evening through the "Dinner with J'lyn Nye" auction item. The lucky bidder and seven friends will spend an evening at Characters "Fine Dining" enjoying the fabulous food & wine.

And the evening would not have been possible without The Edmonton Kinsmen, all of our great volunteers and three fantastic ladies that helped put the evening together (Paulette, Denise, and Laurie).

Thank you to all of the sponsors and supporters of this event!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
