An open book with the letters DBFOTL above it in teal.Dear Friends,

In 1993, the Diamond Bar Friends of the Library had its first Wine Soirée to support the Diamond Bar Library. This year, the Friends will celebrate the 32nd Wine Soirée!  We continue to support and grow the Diamond Bar Library by raising much needed funds for books, magazines, video and digital resources, furniture and fixtures, and special programs for babies, children, teens, adults, families, and seniors all year long.

Everyone is invited to help support our Library by joining us on Sunday, June 7th at the beautiful Diamond Bar Center from 3-7pm.  Our theme this year is “Sippin’ on the Ritz” so you can count on tasting premium wines and sampling delicious offerings from restaurants in Diamond Bar and surrounding areas. While savoring the wine and food, visit and catch up with friends and neighbors.  Or just enjoy the music and the spectacular views of the mountains, the hiking trails, and the beautiful city of Diamond Bar.

As always, our exciting live auction will feature one-of-a-kind items with our amazing auctioneer Larry Smith.  Join in our spirited silent auction that is stocked with beautiful gift baskets, wines, and books. This year, our fun-loving committee created a new “Wine Pull” challenge: an opportunity to win some very fine wines and spirits!  Your participation and generosity will ensure that our Library remains one of the best in LA County.

This event has been in the planning for months.  The Wine Soirée is not possible without the hard work of many volunteers, including the Board of Directors and the generous sponsorship of our restaurants, businesses, community groups, State and County officials, municipal agencies, City Council and the City of Diamond Bar.  I am appreciative of our life members and many wonderful returning guests that come and share their love for our community. I am so grateful for to each of you.  Thank you, thank you!

One last thought, please purchase your tickets on our website or at our Bookstore, located inside the Diamond Bar Library. Let’s do good and have fun too!

Sincerely,

Susan Pantages
