On Saturday, May 2, Dave and Krista Jellison hosted a winetasting fundraiser for Sunset HS' Grad Party. It's a very worthy event that keeps the just-graduated high school seniors entertained (food, music, games, mock weddings, fireworks, poker games, rock climbing, etc.) in the high school all night, instead of drinking and driving.
Floyd and I managed the wine end of it. Between the admission prices, the silent auctions, and the wine sales (I donated the profits to Sunset HS), we raised somewhere between $1000-$2000 for the kids. Thanks to all of you who came out for it.
A big thank you, also, to my friends Kevin Kohnstamm and Joe Hirko of The Party Pros, in Hillsboro. Party Pros has more Reidel wineglass stems (10,000+) than anyone else in Oregon! They can supply all your party rental needs (tents, tables, tableware, jumphouses, etc.), and they gave us a discount since the party was for a non-profit entity (the public school).
Go Apollos!
