Just a quick reminder about the fundraiser for the family of Ben Sission tonight at Bedell Cellars.
From the event website:
The Sisson Family Fund has been set up in our friend Ben Sisson's
memory to help financially support his wife Alice Wise and their
children Ethan and Emma during these difficult times. Our primary goal
is to enable Alice, Ethan and Emma to remain in their family home as
the children mature and to allow the family to maintain a continuing
quality of life within their community of family and friends. Our
enduring friendship and love of Alice, Ben, Ethan and Emma will help
Alice raise her beautiful children. Providing supplemental financial
support is greatly needed over the next few years. We encourage all
friends and family to attend our annual fundraiser in Ben Sisson's
honor and to continue to tithe whenever possible. The joy Ben Sisson
gave all of us in life, we can give back now, in love.

This event will be a celebration of Ben
Sisson's life. It will be an
opportunity to share your favorite stories with friends and colleagues.
Wine and appetizers will be served at the beautiful Bedell Cellars
tasting room, and a Silent Auction will be held with a variety of items
donated for the cause.
Thank you Lenn. The evening was a huge success. We appreciate your support and coverage.
Lenn - I just want to send out thanks to you and all the other folks who generously donated the mixed case of wine for the Sisson Family event. We sold all of the donated items above the estimated value and were able to generate significant funds for a worthy cause. Thanks again for helping us make this event a huge success.
