Equality Illinois Wine Tasting
The Equality of Illinois Wine Tasting that was held yesterday evening (Wednesday evening) at Sidetrack appeared to be a great success. The wine was excellent and very reasonably priced if you chose to make a purchase. The cover charge was $20, which all went to Equality Illinois. If you decided to make a purchase of wine that evening, NONE of the purchase price was planned to go to Equality Illinois, however, with good reason. The wine distributors have been amazing at making donations to Equality Illinois events such as the Gala. So wine tasting events such as the one yesterday evening allow us to raise money for a great cause, while making some money for the distributors so they are able to make sizable donations when they are needed most. It was truly a great event and I would like to thank everyone who donated wine and food.
There were many great community leaders at the event such as the owner of Sidetrack who was very grateful for everyone who walked in the door and supported the cause. Then of course there are the usual, I will be nice and call them idiots, that “MUST” come out, not so much because they enjoy supporting such a cause but because god-forbid we miss a chance to pick up a twink, get them drunk and bring them back to our house or boat. But hey, at least they were there supporting; the money went to a great cause!
