The two groups were chosen by vote of our members last spring to benefit from proceeds of our fourth-annual Hops and Grapes which will be held Friday, August 26 at the Isle Casino. Another portion of the net profit will be invested in the club's "Operation Warm" project which donates winter coats to local school kids. So all funds will go to youth projects.

Before the presentations, Chris Hurley told members each would be given four tickets to the event to sell or use. They are $35 each. Hurley, who chairs the event, explained that another fund-raising element will be a raffle.
