Eco Tour Boat Excursion

Our MCWA ladies MCWA enjoyed a private charter for a 2 hour boat excursion with Master Captain Zach McKenna, navigating tidal creeks, estuaries and near shore waters in search of dolphins, manatees, birds, and more. It was so popular, that two rides were enjoyed - a morning and an afternoon tour with lunch at the A1A Ale House between.

Request for Wine for The Wine Pull

fine_red_wine_picture_2_167120.jpg

Part of the funds we are raising for our charities will come from the “Wine Pull” at the annual Fundraiser on March 23rd. If you have already contributed a bottle of wine, thank you! We have 60 bottles of wine and need 100.

How the “wine pull’ works - throughout the evening of the fundraiser, guests can purchase corks for $20. Then they select a bottle of wrapped wine. The values of the bottles of wine range from $15 and up. So, it’s a win-win.

Would you be willing to contribute a bottle of wine valued at $15 and higher? This is a great way to contribute via our Giving Circle. You can drop the unwrapped bottle of wine at the front desk at Marsh Creek Country club, leaving it with Jennifer Horney.

Thanks so much for your support!

Linda Sollie and Christine Matthaei
