NEW from your NECMA WS

Happy New Year everyone,
It is that time of year again when the NECMA Wine Society members are asking for your help with bottles of wine donations. These donated bottles will be used at the National Conference Wine Society silent auction. If you are not able to donate from your clubs cellars, please ask your wine purveyors to help the cause and donate a bottle.

All bottles must be collected by Wednesday, January 21st. I am attending the President's Gala on Sunday, January 18th and the NECMA January meeting at The Country Club on Wednesday, January 21th and would be happy to collect any donations at these events.

If you would like to drop off any donated bottles before that week here are the drop off locations and Managers.

Michelle Dougherty-Simek, Nashua Country Club Nashua, NH
Tricia Keating, Nashawtuc Country Club, Concord, MA
Kevin Lalumiere, Shelter Harbor Golf Club, Charlestown, RI
Kristen LaCount, The Country Club, Brookline, MA
Brent Tartamella, The Westmoor Club, Nantucket, MA
Henry Sweren, Wahconah Country Club, Dalton, MA

The 2009 NECMA Wine Society Committee is working hard to give its members value for their membership. Kevin Lalumiere is working on some round table discussions to be held before the regular monthly meetings.

Kristen LaCount will again find some great restaurants and schedule a few dine arounds. I am working on another harvest picking in September of '09 somewhere in the Burlington, VT area. Brent is doing what he does best by spreading the word and recruiting more Wine Society members.

One last note, the Boston Wine Expo has gone back to free admission for Trade visitors on Sunday, January 25th. Your club can sign up to two employees for free using the online application.
