Helping Out with a New Event: Tastings in the Glens

July 7th, 2010. Written by Doreen Ashton Wagner

Food & Wine ImageAs a board member of the Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation, I am pleased to announce Greenfield Services’ support of a new event, to be held on Saturday, September 18, 2010, at the Metcalfe Centre in Maxville, ON.

As the first-ever event of this kind in Glengarry County “Tastings in the Glens” will be a celebration of fine wine, scotch and food and a fundraiser for our local hospital.

We’re helping out by compiling a list of potential exhibitors (doing one of the things we do best, online list building!), and formulating an exhibitor communication program.  We also built the Facebook event page and will be helping to spread the word in the local community through social media.  And in a few days, we’ll be hitting the phones to promote exhibit sales.

Stay tuned for updates!

On Wednesday, June 16, 2010, Greenfield Services presented a cheque for $4,459.09 to the Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation.  Monies were raised during the community Yard & Plant Sale organized by Greenfield staff in May. 

Neighbouring businesses also contributed to the effort.  Giant Tiger hosted a special sale tent and Home Hardware donated proceeds to their opening weekend BBQ.

Heartfelt thanks go to the Greenfield organizing committee: Pamela André, Sandra Bigelow, Stephanie Lanthier and Heinz Wagner.
