We here at Astor are
overwhelmed with sadness at the devastation in Haiti. In order to help, we have
added an "Elements of Wine" class to our calendar on Monday, January 25th,
and will pass on 100% of ticket sales to support the relief
effort.
Here's what
we're offering: Andy Fisher, President of Astor Wines/Astor
Center, will teach you the basics of wine tasting and food pairing in this
hands-on, plain-language tasting of a flight of incredible
wines
Here's how it
works: Astor Center will make a check
payable to the Haiti Earthquake Relief,
which is being administered by the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York
City. We will include your name and contribution
amount on to the Mayor's Fund, and in return will receive
letters indicating that your individual
contribution went for the Haiti
Relief effort and is fully deductible as a charitable contribution. The moneys raised
through Haiti Earthquake Relief/Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City are going to Doctors Without Borders and the
Red Cross for use specifically in Haiti.
Here's how you can
participate: The ticket price for "Elements of Wine" is $75. If you pay full
price, the full $75 dollars goes to the fund. If you can only contribute $50,
enter the promotional code "HAITI" when you buy tickets online to receive a discount, and your $50 purchase
will be passed on in full.
Details on the class are here. Please join us.
