Thank you Westport!
Once again, as in for the 20th time, WSR held its annual Winestasting and Silent Auction on a wonderful night, and to great Success. Results of the night are yet to be determined, but a good time was had by all. Wondeful food, excellent Jazz by the Bob Losprogato Trio, and once again Harvey Skolnick from the Liquor Locker out did himself in providing the selection of wines for the evening. Thank you to all that attended, donated, and otherwise supported this event. WSR is very appreciative!
