Ninth Annual Wine Tasting FUNdraiser

Eat, drink and be merry at our annual wine-tasting for members only  
(you can become a member at the door).
A tax-deductible donation for the wine-tasting event is requested. We  
suggest a donation of $25 per person, $40 per pair, or more. The wine- 
tasting showcases homemade, regional and organic wines accompanied by  
vegan and vegetarian hors d?ouvres.
For budgeting purposes, here?s the breakdown:
SVI Membership:
$25 for a single person
$35 per family (extended relatives!)
$50 for company or organization (bring your club!)
Wine Tasting:
suggested donation of $25 per person, or $40 per pair ? tax deductible!
So, for a single person, you should budget $50? which ain?t bad  
considering you can easily drink $50 worth of fine, organic, non- 
sulfite, homemade wine and mead at the event. We?re guessing a lot of  
our friends normally spend that much during a night out at the bars?  
and they make you go home at 2am.

Designated drivers (no wine for you? sorry?) may attend free of charge!
We encourage folks to spend the night. If you choose to do so, you  
should bring a tent, flashlight and bedding (and plan to assist with  
clean up the following morning).
Come dressed in your halloween best ? it?s a costume party!
Directions to Sequatchie Valley Institute ?

Hi folks,

Trish Woolbright asked me to share this with the SVI board and crew,  
and I thought our other friends would be interested in the progress on  
her cook book project. I've seen her production work, and contributed  
a couple of recipes, so I know she's very serious about this project.

If your cooking and knowledge of food has been influenced by events or  
stays at Moonshadow, please send a few of your personal recipes!

- Chris Gilligan

    P.S. my recipe contributions:
    Sage & Anakeesta's Favorite Pancakes
    Roasted Radishes with Eggplant and Carrots

Hi folks,

We have a nice selection of regional and moonshadow wines lined up for  
2009 Wine in the Woods, and we look forward to seeing you Friday  
evening, Oct 30.

Money: we've heard from a few folks that they may not be able to  
afford the SVI membership + donation. This is not a "make or break".  
We always operate on sliding scale, and understand that cash money is  
tight. Please come to the event and do what you can to support SVI...  
we'd rather have our friends and volunteers than their money! (Food  
donations accepted... see below)

Children: we have childcare lined up, but PLEASE RSVP (with details)  
if you plan to bring your kids. Tadd Harlin and his clan will be  
watching the kids at Sweetgum until 9 or 10pm, at which time parents  
will need to retake responsibility. Movies, snacks, playtime, etc.

Food & Beverage: If you bring some quality snacks, wines, beverages,  
hors d'oeurvres, etc, we will waive your donation, so you may attend  
for the price of an SVI membership (SVI board, supervolunteers and  
advisors are exempt from membership).

Cheers, and we hope to see you Friday!

Hi folks,

If you're planning on attending Wine in the Woods, we could sure use  
some ice... just a few bags to keep the beverages chilled. So if you  
are driving, give us a shout at 423-949-5922 to see if it's still  
needed.

Some of y'all aren't into the whole no TP thing (we use bidets), so if  
you could bring a roll of paper for the outhouses, you won't  have to  
wipe with leaves... ;-)

We've spoken to several folks who are bringing delicious goodies, but  
of course we can always use more treats!

- ice
- toilet paper
- snacks, hors d'oeuvres
- treats for tricksters

Also, if you're planning to spend the night, please remember to bring  
warm bedding and a flashlight. We have several open-air roofed  
structures that are good for sleeping, but you may want to bring a  
tent anyway to seal out the drafts.

Finally, please attempt to bring some breakfast food if you want to  
eat breakfast... the larder is a little low right now...

- sleeping bags, pads
- tent
- flashlight
- coffee
- bread
- milk

Cheers! We hope to see you this evening...
