Winning tickets for the Wine Barrel Raffle contest sponsored by Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary will be drawn Friday, Apr. 29, when the club meets for its weekly breakfast meeting at 7:15 a.m. at the Lafayette Park Hotel and Spa in Lafayette. Winners need not be present.
A total of 50, 750 ml. bottles of wine, donated by club members are valued at "no less than $1,250 and probably much more," said Hays Englehart, a Moraga resident and co-chair of the raffle. "Each of us contributed a bottle with a known retail value of at least $25."
Tickets are still available. They are $10 each or 11 for $100. To purchase, contact Englehart at 818-642-6260 or via email at 3speeds3@gmail.com. Tickets are tax deductible.
There are three lucky tickets. Draw No. 1 wins 25 bottles, No. 2 wins 15 bottles, and No. 3 takes home 10 bottles.
Proceeds will help to support a variety of community programs, including the club's own Home Team, which provides gratis minor home-maintenance repairs for the elderly; Las Trampas in Lafayette, which provides services for developmentally challenged adults; Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County, which offers rent-assisted housing for families; and Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, which annually provides countless thousands of free meals for qualifying families.
