91原创 Association for Community Living will be the benefactor of tonight's Rotary Tip 鈥榥鈥� Taste.
The 15th annual fundraising event 鈥� featuring a bounty of beer and food 鈥� is once again being organized by three 91原创 Rotary Clubs and is once again being held at the Coast Hotel & Convention Centre. This year it is on Friday, July 8, running from 6 to 9:30 p.m.
This year鈥檚 event features about 24 breweries offering samples of their craft beers and wine coolers. There will also food samples from eight 91原创 restaurants, plus music by Brett Wade.
With the popularity of craft beers and independent brewers, committee chair David Truman say he expects the attendance at this will be huge.
"People love to come out and sample new beers鈥� this is the venue," he said, noting they could add more breweries, but there isn't room.
As for the charity, Truman said this one was picked this year based on financial need.
Last year鈥檚 Tip 鈥榥鈥� Taste generated $12,000 for 91原创 Lodge. And this year, with a similar goal in mind, the money will help young people living with developmental disabilities get outfit and trained for new jobs in the community, interjected Rotarian Calla Krause.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 important. I think people need to know they鈥檙e helping a lot of local people,鈥� she added.
Truman added: "We like to spread it around and pick different charities every year."
Tickets to this fundraiser are $35, available from tipntaste.com or from a Rotarian. Tickets entitle adults to five drink samples. Extra tickets are $2.50 each.
CAPTION: Rotary Clubs in 91原创 united to bring you Tip 'n' Taste 2015. Tonight (Friday, July 8) is set aside for the 2016 event.
