The 2008 Wines to Wishes event featured “Fund A Need”. The proceeds from the event went beyond expectations raising the additional funds necessary to complete the playground and update four classrooms. During the summer of 2008 the classrooms were updated with new carpet, paint, desks, chairs, lighting and ceilings. Families and teachers volunteered their time to install carpeting, and paint walls and murals.

Thank you for visiting our Wines to Wishes website. In 2006 a group of St. John the Baptist’s parents recognized that several capital improvements would be needed to the school for it to remain a healthy and viable facility.

The first year the event used the profits of $25,000 to improve restrooms, which were brought up to code and made handicapped accessible.

The success of the event energized parents, faculty and students and in 2007 the event date was moved to coincide with conclusion of Catholic School’s Week. In 2007 funds were dedicated and set aside to build an on-site playground, which had been lacking for many years.

In September 2008 the playground was installed with the help of parents, church and community resources and volunteers.

Fund A Need will return in 2009. The goal this year is to update additional classrooms. Other exciting improvements will be revealed at the event.

The event is open to the general public. If you are a wine or ale connoisseur come try some “new favorites” and take advantage of discounts available by placing an order during the event.
