Limited tickets are now available for only $30 each for the Rotary Club of Wilmette Harbor Wine Gala on Wednesday, May 22 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at The Fresh Market, Edens Plaza Shopping Center, 3232 Lake Avenue in Wilmette.
Now in its fifth year, the premiere fundraising event invites ticketholders to more than 40 varieties of wine paired with mouth-watering appetizers. Funds raised from the gala benefit local and international charities selected by the Rotary chapter.
“The wine gala at has become such a popular event on the North Shore that it’s sure we’ll have a sellout,” said Linda Howard, event committee chair. “Thanks to the generosity of Fresh Market and its distributors, party-goers get a fabulous array of wine and appetizers for one low admissions fee– and proceeds go to charities helping the needy.”
