OLD STRATHCONA YOUTH SOCIETY IS READY TO “CELEBRATE” AT THEIR ANNUAL WINTER WINE FESTIVAL Sparkling Drinks Will Be Showcased at this Festive Event
12 October 2009: For Immediate Release - Following a packed wine tasting event last November, the Old Strathcona Youth Society is pleased to be teaming up with the knowledgeable staff at Devine Wines to host The Annual Winter Wine Festival. The theme this year is “Celebrate”, and patrons will once again have the opportunity to sample fine wines from around the world, guided by individual wine reps who really know their vino! The festival will feature over two dozen different bottles of wine, with a focus on sparkling wines, sure to put everyone in a festive wood. As well as all of the fabulous wine and bubbly, “Celebrate” will also include finger foods, and a silent auction of items from local businesses. Tickets sell quickly, so make sure you get yours soon.
The Old Strathcona Youth Society is an organization that works with high risk youth ages 14 to 24. They have fourteen partners including Edmonton Police Services, the Old Strathcona Business Association, City of Edmonton Community Services, and the Youth Emergency Shelter Society. The Society’s main goal is to connect youth with services, programs and activities that will aid in their personal development.
In their time in the Whyte Avenue area, this organization has been able to reach out to hundreds of youth, providing advocacy, housing and employment opportunities, or simply a listening ear. The Society is a place of comfort for many in Edmonton, and represents a chance to improve the quality of life for many youth that might otherwise slip through the cracks. This fundraiser helps the Society to provide these important services to the community, and to continue to be a presence on Edmonton’s south side. All of the proceeds raised at the Fourth Annual Winter Wine Festival will go directly to funding programs and services at the Old Strathcona Youth Society. The Annual Winter Wine Festival will be held at Devine Wines, 10111 104 Street on Friday November 6 from 7:00-9:30pm. Tickets are only $20 each, and can be purchased in person at Devine Wines or at the Old Strathcona Youth Society. Call (780) 496-5947 for more info. |
