Wine party to benefit local non-profit

Published 2:37 pm Monday, October 3, 2011

Bring some tasty wine and help out local non-profits at Olive Crest’s annual auction at Lot No. 3 in Bellevue Oct. 12.

Olive Crest, an organization dedicated to preventing child abuse, treating and educating at-risk children and preserving the family, will host the event for the 10th time, with the last auction bringing in more than $11,100 in donations and fine wine.

Each guest is asked to bring one bottle of fine wine (valued at $100, see Wine registry for ideas) to be auctioned at Olive Crest’s Gala Auction on March 3, or make a $100 donation. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres from Lot No. 3 and wine tastings from Mercer Estates, O Wines and William Church Winery are included.

Tickets will be sold for $50 each for a chance to win a Chelan Crush Weekend Package.

For those who cannot attend the event but wish to make a contribution, donations can be made online at any time, or mailed to Olive Crest, 515 116th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004.
