| I could also use a few more volunteers to register guests, pour wine, set up and clean up. Clean up crew takes home any leftover wine. It's also a great way to meet everyone at the event. If you can get there at 6pm and would like one of these opportunities, contact me ASAP at suzannemmoak@yahoo.com
