8th Annual Poverty Bay Wine Festival Raises $50,000!

The Rotary Club of Des Moines would like to take this opportunity to thank all who attended the 8th Annual Poverty Bay Wine Festival and for helping to make it such a huge success!  Over 1,800 people were in attendance at the festival held on March 2-4 at the Landmark Event Center.  Through ticket, wine and raffle sales, the club raised $50,000, which will be used to fund local community and international projects during the 2012-13 Rotary calendar year!  Past projects funded include the 3rd Grade Dictionary Project, Des Moines Park & Recreation after school programs, Des Moines Food Bank,  Highline Community College Scholarships and Rotary First Harvest.

The Rotary Club would also like to extend a special thanks to our Event Sponsors who partnered with us:


Their contribution and support was key to our success!

Thank you again for your support of the Rotary Club of Des Moines and for all that you do to make our community a better place to live and work.  We look forward to seeing you all at the 9th Annual Poverty Bay Wine Festival!
