The Wine Soirée planning committee has been hard at work, and everyone is very excited to host the 32nd Annual Wine Soirée on Sunday, June 7th at the Diamond Bar Center. Our theme is “Sippin’ on the Ritz” so you can count on sipping delicious wines and sampling the wonderful offerings from restaurants in Diamond Bar and surrounding areas. The live and silent auctions will be very spirited, and we have many special and one-of-a-kind auction items.  And from the fun-loving co-chairs this year, we have a new “Wine Pull” challenge: an opportunity to win some very fine wines and spirits!

The event is a once-a-year fundraiser to support our library. All proceeds from this event go directly back to our Diamond Bar Library for books, improvements such as furniture and furnishings, and community programs for children, teens, adults, and families. Tickets are $75 each and are on sale at the Friends’ Bookstore and on our website at:  https://dblibraryfriends.org/wine-soiree/tickets/.

This amazing event is not possible without the support of many good people. I want to personally thank our wonderful restaurants & wine and beer donors, sponsors, advertisers, donors, business community, returning guests, and civic leaders and the City of Diamond Bar for your generous and unwavering support of our Library. I also want to thank each volunteer on our planning committee and the working teams for all the hours that you have devoted to this event. You were generous with your time, your talent, and your donations; you unselfishly gave the best of yourselves.  This event is truly a community effort; it’s a gift to the library that will leave a lasting impact.

We hope to see you there for all the fun.  Bring a friend or two with you!

Sincerely,

Susan Pantages
President
Diamond Bar Friends of the Library
