of our fundraisers is essential to the continuation of
services to
low-income families of Barberton and Norton. If you cannot
attend one of our fundraisers and would still like to help,

an Italian five-course meal sampling prepared with
various wines to add depth and flavor. Each course will
be paired with wine samplings while the chef will show
you how to make the palatable Italian plate in your
own home. Choose between two seatings: 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
or 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. — and prepare yourself for a night
your tongue won't soon forget. Tickets are $25 per
person, with proceeds benefiting the ministries' pantry,
which helps to feed more than 800 people each month.
Seating is limited, so call the Winery at (800)-436-0426
