Farmington Rotary Announces Rotary Madness in the Gardens

The Rotary Club of Farmington announces Rotary Madness in the Gardens, to be held on Thursday, March 17th, at Farmington Gardens at 999 Farmington Avenue in Farmington. Wines and brews for tasting at this St. Paddy’s day event will be provided by Maximum Beverage of Farmington. Food Stations with offerings to complement the beverage tastings will be provided by area restaurants.

The event raffles will include special items, donated wines and basket selections. Those interested in watching March Madness basketball will be able to view the current games projected for all to see.

Tickets are available for $45 from any Farmington Rotarian, at Maximum Beverage, or online at www.WineInTheGardens.org.

Funds raised at this wine tasting event will benefit the UConn Health Auxiliary, working together with Artists for World Peace to establish the first-ever dental clinic in Kibosho-Umbwe, Tanzania, where Artists for World Peace has established a health clinic. The donation will be used to transport UConn dental students and teachers to the distant location to provide dental care.

Event proceeds will also help in our goal to provide an Angel Eye camera for each incubator at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the UConn Medical Center in Farmington so that families can view their baby online even when they cannot be present at the hospital.

With funds raised at this and other fundraisers throughout the year, the Rotary Club of Farmington also provides scholarships to graduating high school students and supports additional local and international charitable projects.
