Triangle Wine Experience's annual Breakfast

From the Triangle Wine Experience website:

"In the early 1990's a group of friends gathered to celebrate their love of wine and to raise money for the Frankie Lemmon School. The gathering became a tradition that eventually resulted in the formation of The Frankie Lemmon Foundation, a non-profit organization that is the school's primary funding source. Each year the foundation organizes a series of wine related charitable events, including the Triangle Wine Experience to generate proceeds which fund the tuition-free school."

This year's annual Sponsor and Partners Breakfast was held Friday, February 8th. It was an opportunity for people in the wine business from all over the USA to tour the Frankie Lemmon School and meet our children, families, and staff members—while enjoying breakfast and a brief program, and seeing first-hand how their generosity and support (and yours) helps these special children.

The Big Show



Mr. Pat's son-in-law, George Feaver, was also with us at the breakfast. George is wine director/general manager at Suburban Wines and Spirits in the greater New York City area. He arrived Thursday night with a full SUV load of wine that he delivered to the Foundation office. This wine was given through the generosity of several vendors from the New York City area. George came at the invitation of the Foundation Board of Directors. Thank you so much for making George feel at home here.
