Thanx from a
Dictionary
Third Grader

Dear
Woodinville
Rotarians

Thank you for the really big dictionary.

When it was in my backpack with 3 books 
in there it was heavy!

But any way thank you for the dictionary. It was nice for the big and fat dictionary. It was so big. 

I loved it!

Reckonyard Gold developments: Operators of Grace Town Vineyards and officials of the Greater Grace Wine Appreciation Society (GG-WAS) were treated March 24 to the first barrel tasting of the 2008 vintage of Reckonyard Gold Pinot Noir -- the wine produced for donors to the scholarship fund of the Grace Provisional Rotary Club. According to Gustav T. Williger, vineyards proprietor and Grace Town Viticulturalist, the latest vintage is aging well, reflects excellent color in the glass and has a "zingy" nose and fore-taste (the latter known as the sampler's anticipation of how the wine will react when first meeting the tongue). Williger says the vineyard yielded sufficient grape production in October to support 24 of the .750 ml size and two 3.5 ml magnums.

                          
                                            Consultant Peterson
The tasting ceremonies were conducted by Grace winemaking consultant Chris Peterson, a Walla Walla Community College graduate of the college's Institute of Viticulture and Enology. In attendance with Peterson and Williger were Erv DeSmet, grand exalted appreciator of GG-WAS, Grace mayor-for-life and vineyard assistant T. Snappy Jarvis, and Hugo B. Jonsen, vineyard public relations specialist.

Williger announced that the 2007 vintage of Reckonyard will be released to donors the morning of April 21 at ceremonies at the Sammamish Valley Grange. A few bottles are available to scholarship supporters who missed out on futures subscribed at the last release event a year ago. The 2007 sharing wine will be released to donors who contributed the equivalent of $130 to the fund that supports $3,000 scholarships at Walla Walla Community College and at Washington State University for students in the school's viticulture and enology programs. 


Valuable marble located: As pictured above, Max Zellweger located a green marble valued at $234. Being the generous fellow he is known to be, Max donated  the entire treasure to Rotary Foundation.
