When I am with a group of human beings committed to hanging in there through both the agony and the joy of community, I have a dim sense that I am participating in a phenomenon for which there is only one word...."glory." ~ M. Scott Peck

Stock the Cellar & Stock the Bar

Stock the Cellar (formerly the Wall of Wine) is an auction item which is only up for live bid at the Fiesta, so send in your RSVP and get your babysitter!  Stock the Cellar is a Fiesta favorite and it is your chance to win dozens of bottles of wine!  This year, we are adding a similar item called “Stock the Bar” which will include high quality spirits, liquors, and barware.

We can't stock the cellar or bar with out your help and Minnehaha Lake Wine & Spirits has agreed to sponsor us with a challenge!  

They have agreed to donate 2 cases of wine if ISLA families reach a donation total of $250 (minimum).  The challenge is on!  Drop off your checks made out to ISLA PTO (with “wine” in the memo).  Place the money in an envelope and give it to Emily Smith in ISLA’s front office.

If you wish to directly purchase and donate a favorite bottle of wine or spirits, please drop off the bottle(s) at ISLA, directly to Emily Smith in the front office, or contact Casie Budolfson, at casiejo@yahoo.com. Add a tag if you wish, for a more personalized touch.

Ace Spirits, 4 Shady Oak Rd, Hopkins is offering a 10% discount on any bottle of liquor, if you mention ISLA Fiesta.

If you need liquor suggestions, please sign up and purchase (click the link):  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084CACA829A1F85-stock
