It's not too late to get tickets to the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library's 39th Annual Wine & Cuisine Tasting that takes place this Friday, Feb. 20th at the Alverno Villa. For a tax-deductible donation of $60, you'll be treated to a variety of fabulous food and wine selections, and you'll be supporting our Public Library at the same time. Purchase tickets at the Library, Bottle Shop, Sierra Madre Books or on-line at http://www.sierramadrelibraryfriends.org/ and look for my sister Ellen and I who will be first in line, as always! Here's a photo to prove it. That's local drummer Ben Rushing and his wife Vicki right behind us.
