ILA 'Sip and Support' Wine Event 2021
The 10th Annual Wine Event was a huge success. The event featured 'Wines of France'. It was a total blast! It was the first time in almost two years that we had the chance to do a fundraiser like this in person. What a lovely treat for all of the parents to get together and enjoy some beautiful wines and even better company.
The event took place at Babica Hen, a beautiful venue in Lake Oswego off Boones Ferry Road. At the event guests enjoyed wonderful wines, tasty food pairings, and live music. Those who attended enjoyed delicious wines from France with our on-site sommelier. The wine event featured a wine pull where anyone could grab bottle of tasty wine that ranged in values for $15. There was a raffle and a silent auction for a variety of locally sourced gift baskets and wines. All of the proceeds will support classes at ILA and our brand-new playground that will soon be constructed.
We had the pleasure of experiencing some wonderful music performed by Dr. Erlich and the Magic Bullets alongside our very own music teacher, Mr. Marc. These musicians came together to recreate the music of Paris, as it happened, and as it is imagined.
We would like to thank everyone who attended the wine event, and anyone who contributed during this time. A big thank you to Olivier and Simon from 'Le Petit Monde' for featuring the exclusive French wines. Thank you Babica Hen for hosting such a lovely event. Finally, thank you very much to all of our parent volunteers for all of their hard work. None of this would be possible without all of you!
