Wine Tasting Benefit for Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors

Parents: Come to a wine tasting benefit at the Amherst Farm Winery on Thursday, March 29, 2012 from 6 pm to 9 pm. Light snacks and wine tasting available for $15 a ticket. All proceeds ($10 from each ticket sale and 5% of all purchases) will be donated to Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors (April 28, 2012). Email Vivian Liu at vivianfliu@comcast.net or Catherine Lodge at cathy51168@yahoo.com for tickets.

The Amherst Farm Winery is located at 529 Belchertown Road, Amherst, MA.   The event raises money to help cover costs for the Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors event, to be held on April 28, 2012, at the Mullins Center practice arena on the UMASS campus. The event consists of a series of hockey games (with 8 military, police and firefighter teams), a procession at 3:00 PM to honor our military men and women, followed by an Ice Show with Olympic, World, and International figure skaters that includes a rose dedication to our serving, fallen, and wounded military. Last year, Ice Stars raised $4000 for the Wounded Warrior Project after paying off bills, and this year we hope to do much better!
