| Sight for Kids Wine Tasting and Dinner - March each year
|
Whittier Host Lions annual fundraiser “Sight for Kids” wine tasting and dinner event was held on a Saturday in March at the Whittier Community Center (corner of Mar Vista and Washington in Whittier). It has become a major event in the life of our club. We appreciate the support from the community and continue to strive to create an event that exceeds expectations. The event raises funds to provide eye care for needy children, and support other community service programs.
Guests are able to sample a wide variety of fine foods from local restaurants and fine wines.
Past events have included entertainment such as a barbershop quartet, raffles, as well as silent and live auctions. Sample auction items have included a Super Bowl XL football autographed by Jerome Bettis, Hines Ward, Ben Roethlisberger and Bill Cower, a one week stay at a 5 bedroom Big Bear house, a 3 day ocean cruise for two, a roundtrip for two on Southwest Airlines, a guitar autographed by 6 guitar legends including Keith Richards, Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton, a customized backyard play set valued at over $3,000, a gourmet dinner for 8, a dinner party for 50 from Steve’s BBQ, accommodations and golf at Las Vegas and Laughlin, tickets to Lakers, Dodgers, and Angel games, and jewelry from Whittier Jewelry Mart.
This year the food was provided by Airliner, Ambros Pizza, Cal Hi Culinary Academy, California Grill, Cielito Lindo Restaurant, Crepes & Grapes, El Camino Mexican Grill, Golden Triangle, Fire House Grill, Marie Callender’s, Mr. Sandwich, Olive Garden, Red Oak BBQ, Rocky Cola Cafe, Steve’s BBQ, Sushi of the East, The 6740 and Fiesta Foods.
Wines served at the event include Wild Horse, Chateau St. Jean, Chateau St. Michelle, Mezza Corona, Rutherford Ranch, Ravenswood, Robert Mondavi and Petrocelli Wineries. Beverages have also bee donated by Miller Brewing Company and Hansen’s Beverage Company.
The proceeds of this years event exceeded the club's expectations and will enable the club to maintain its support for children's sight conservation and other community service programs in the greater Whittier area.
Again, we appreciate the community's support for this annual event. Next year's event will be held Saturday March 20, 2010- Sight for Kids is a very valuable evening out – all the quality food and wine you can enjoy plus entertainment and the opportunity to make new friends.
