Wine Affinity Savignon Blanc

Aug 27 • 5:30 AM – 7:30 PM Roxann and Gary's house

12710 Melrose

Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most popular white wines in the U.S. Often referred to as “grassy,” it is known for its refreshing crispness, which is due to its high levels of acidity and low amounts of sugar.

Annual Picnic

Sharp Farm

Sept. 21

4:00

We have made an estimate of the value of the supplies as over $450.00, using a conservative value for the backpacks of ~$10 each and individual supply items of ~$1 each. We have also donated additional money to fill in any gaps in the needs or to just help operate the organization.

To Get to a Polio-Free World with ZERO cases for at least 3 Years we still need to Immunize 400 Million kids every year, hire > 150,000 workers, accelerate the transition of NID’s to IPV and constantly improve how we monitor and detect any new WPV and CVDPV cases.
