This annual fundraiser will feature educator Baila Miller, who will interactively explore the history of the Women’s Building at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Ill. in 1893.

A new feature at this year’s event is a wine wall. For $20, attendees can purchase a ticket and choose a bottle of wine that retails between $20 to over $100.

Tickets are $50. The event chair is WRCSC board president Jamie Aymerich and the honorary chair is Sarasota County Commissioner Christine Robinson. For more information and reservations, please call 941-485-9724, 941-366-1700 or visit www.TheWomensResourceCenter.org.
