The Wine Alliance has contributed over $713,000 in proceeds to Lake County groups since the inception of the annual event in 2000.

The charter of the Wine Alliance directs its efforts to foster the arts, benefit health services, and support the community, while promoting Lake County as a premier grape growing and fine wine region.
The Wine Alliance is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization of Lake County wineries, wine grape growers, and business and community supporters that annually presents the wine auction as a fundraising charity benefit.
Members of the Wine Alliance board are Margaret Walker-Stimmel, president; Marie Beery, vice president; Pamela Shine-Duncan, secretary; Rob Roumiguiere, treasurer; and Jim Fetzer, Judy Luchsinger, Wilda Shock, and Janet Thompson, directors.

LAKE COUNTY – The Republican Party of Lake County held its 10th annual Lincoln Day Dinner and Republican of the Year Award on Saturday, Feb. 21, to a sold-out crowd.
The speaker was Holly Swanson, author of “Set Up and Sold Out: Find Out What Green Really Means.”
Swanson turned out to be an extremely convincing, electrifying speaker, who in her well-documented book takes the position that the Green Party, made up primarily of radicals and leftover Communists, has an agenda that has little to do with green. A rousing question and answer session followed.
“Republican of the Year Award” winners honored this year were Penny Lunt and Greg Scott for their extraordinary performance and service to our citizens and party. Their special awards were presented by party Chairman Randy Ridgel.
The club thanks everyone for attending. The event was a success and a good time was had by all.
