Wild Crush 2009 honors 37 years of environmental education

FROM THE COMMITTEE FOR GREEN FOOTHILLS comes news of an event scheduled for this Saturday.

If you love wine, care about your local environment, and are looking for something fun and worthwhile to do on the peninsula tomorrow night, then Environmental Volunteers (EV) invites you to Wild Crush 2009. The annual gala honors thirty-seven years of environmental education in Silicon Valley.

The evening will include wine tasting offered by local vintners, educational demonstrations by the EV, a silent auction, dinner and a live auction. Each year, the EV reaches over 11,000 children in the San Francisco Bay Area with unique learning experiences in the classroom and at field trip sites. Your participation in this event can support the educational programs of the Environmental Volunteers. The event will be held on April 25th at the Quadrus Center in Menlo Park at 6:30 p.m.

Pouring at the event will be Burrell School Vineyards, Big Basin Vineyards, Bink Wines, Handley Cellars, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, Michael Martella Wines and Wente Vineyards. The live silent auction promises to offer a number of items worth bidding for, including an aerial tour of the San Francisco Bay.

For more information, see the Environmental Volunteers’ Wild Crush 2009 website or contact Sue Trautman at 650-961-0545.

If you buy a ticket, be sure to mention that you’re a member of the Committee for Green Foothills.
