8th Annual

2020 Wine & Food Tasting Event

POSTPONED

The Rotary Club of Amelia Island Sunrise is postponing the 8th annual Wine & Food Tasting Event, originally scheduled for March 21, 2020.

Our sponsors and volunteers are supportive of this cautionary move at this time and our Restaurant partners have been outstanding in supporting this decision.

No date has been set for rescheduling the event. When it is safe to establish a new date, it will be communicated.

We wish to thank the community for their support of this event in the past and look forward to a safe, pleasant event in the future.

Tickets already purchased for the 2020 Wine & Food Tasting are good for the upcoming event. However, refunds can be requested. Please contact Caroline Blochlinger.

A special thank you to our sponsors and Restaurant partners:

The Rotary Club of Amelia Island Sunrise is pleased and excited to have chosen the following three organizations to be the recipients of proceeds from our 2020/21 Wine & Food Tasting fundraiser. Our selection is based on their involvement in our community, their alignment with the Rotary areas of focus, and their willingness to participate and support our event:

1) Rise Against Hunger is an international hunger relief organization that distributes food and life-changing aid to the world’s most vulnerable, mobilizing the necessary resources to end hunger. The goal is to raise enough money to contribute to the food packaging event preparing 52,000+ meals in 2 hours or less. This event typically takes place in Fernandina during February.

2) Big Brothers Big Sisters - This is the second year we are raising money toward paid internships and scholarship opportunities for participating youth in Nassau County. This program has been proven to be highly successful.

3) Friends of Fernandina Aviation - We are looking to raise money for two flight training scholarships for high school students, with the potential of a third scholarship if additional funds are available.

4) Barnabas Meal Packaging Program - We learned that there is a severe shortage in funding for the 2020 meal pack program. This program is for children enrolled in Nassau County Schools: Families in Transition Program.

The 2020/2021 Wine & Food Festival promises to be another huge and rewarding event. It requires teamwork and effort from everyone in the club.

As in the past we are looking forward to another great signature event.
