The cost of this event is $10 per person.  A pre-holiday raffle will be held along with a sampling of wines from VINO 100 St. Pete and a selection of hors d'oeuvres.  VINO 100 St. Pete will donate 10% of the evening’s proceeds to the Foundation.  Registration for the wine tasting may be made by sending payment directly to the Foundation at LFCF, PO Box 2212, Dunedin, Florida 34697-2212.
