Miami alums to host wine tasting for scholarships

By Mark Fisher | Monday, November 2, 2009, 08:50 AM

Here’s a news release I received about Middletown-area Miami University alumni hosting a wine-tasting and auction event to support students scholarships:

MIDDLETOWN, OH - A wine tasting party and silent auction will be held at the Miami University Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, sponsored by the Middletown Area Chapter of the Miami University Alumni Association. The evening’s proceeds will support scholarships for students beginning their education on the Middletown campus but may follow them to Oxford, Hamilton or the new VOA Learning Center.

Five wines with accompanying hors d’oeuvres from the Dorothy Lane Markets of Springboro and Dayton will be served. Dorothy Lane’s wine expert, Todd Templin, will provide tasters with information concerning each of the selected wines, including white, red and dessert wines.

More than twenty items will be offered in a silent auction, including an original watercolor painting of the Black (Pugh’s Mill) Covered Bridge near Oxford by the late, renowned watercolorist Frank Martindell. The painting was featured in Mr. Martindell’s one-man show at the Middletown Art Center in 2007. Other items range from massages and spa treatments to Miami and Reds sports memorabilia and sports gear.

Reservations may be made by calling Joanne Harper at 513-529-1451 or by following an on-line link on www.miamialum.org. The cost is $40.00 per person or $35.00 for members of the Miami University Alumni Association. You do not have to be a graduate of Miami to attend. Anyone wishing more information may contact Joanne Harper (harperjh@muohio.edu), Paula Cohen (513-423-4443) or Ellen Kukuk (513-423-1778).

The Voice of America Learning Center is located at the corner of Cox Road and VOA Park Drive in West Chester.
