Dear Members,
We were not able to have a holiday party this year but are looking at an AVA anniversary celebration that may include a wine competition in the first quarter of next year. We’ll have more discussion on that at our General Membership Meeting on January 28th.
Wishing you a joyous holiday season with peace and cheer in the New Year!
Bill Scanlin, President, Lamorinda Wine Growers Association
Dear Members,
The Moraga Police Officer’s Association and the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program are joining forces in 2017 to help bring joy to children in the Bay Area during this holiday season. The mission of the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign was conducted. The objectives for the Toys for Tots are to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign.; and to contribute to better communities in the future.
The Moraga Peace Officers association is having a Toys for Tots drive and has requested our help in providing wine for the event at the Hacienda de las Flores on Friday, December 8th at 6pm.
If you are willing to donate commercial or non-commercial wine to this event, you can drop it off at the Hacienda main building (living room/kitchen area) after 3pm on Friday, December 8th or contact Will Davis at (925) 786-2085 for coordinating another time for drop-off or pickup.
You are also welcome to join the event and they would be happy to accept new, unwrapped toys or monetary donations.
Monetary donations can also be made to: Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, Moraga Police Officers Association, 329 Rheem Blvd, Moraga, CA 94556.
Happy Holidays!
I understand that the inventory of these bottles is already gone.
East Bay Glass is selling nice new burgundy bottles for $3 per case. You need to go pick them up during business hours and pay tax, but they take credit cards.
They apparently have several pallets of these bottles.

Would you be able to pass this request along to the Lamorinda Wine Growers to see if anyone is willing to donate a bottle or so? The money from this Raffle goes directly back into the Chamber to offset the loss of the $9000 underwrite the Town had previously provided.
I would be happy to pick up any donations, and if possible, have them by the end of next week.
Thank you for any support of this project.
