Junior League of Greater Springfield to Present Beer and Wine Tasting

HOLYOKE — The Junior League of Greater Springfield will present its second annual Beer and Wine Tasting fund-raising event on Sunday, June 5 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Holyoke Canoe Club. The event will include a silent auction, live music by Berkshire Hill Music Academy, and hors d’oeuvres by Lattitude.

Proceeds from the event will support the Junior League’s scholarship fund. Every year, the Junior League awards a scholarship to a graduating high-school female who has exhibited exemplary leadership and community service.

“There are many young women who demonstrate strong leadership skills and dedication to volunteerism,” said Shana Wilson, president of the Junior League of Greater Springfield. “We are proud to recognize one of them with a scholarship, and this event ensures that we can continue to support young female leaders for years to come.”

The event is open to the public and sponsored by Sarat Ford Lincoln of Agawam and Commonwealth Packaging Corp. of Chicopee. Tickets cost $30 and can be purchased at www.jlgs.org/wine–beer-tasting-2016.html.

“This event will help highlight the vitally important work the Junior League of Greater Springfield provides to the local community as well as reward a graduating high-school female for her hard work and service,” Wilson added.
