President’s Message

                                              

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are very excited to invite you to join us at the 2025 Wine Soiree on Sunday, July 27 from 4-7 PM.  This is our annual FUNdraiser to support our Diamond Bar Library.  And we are very happy that the Wine Soiree will be returning to the DIAMOND BAR CENTER at 1600 Grand Ave, Diamond Bar.

The theme this year is Splish, Splash, Summer Bash! to celebrate summertime in Diamond Bar.  Are there beach balls and a beach nearby?

We will have tasty signature dishes from our local restaurants; our pourers will be pouring fine wines and beers while you enjoy the music and shop and bid for our beautiful baskets and raffle prizes. And our Auctioneer is gearing up for a very lively AUCTION!  Our generous sponsors have donated some very special live auction items; get ready to raise your hand!

The Wine Soiree will be the best party ever and we hope you’ll join us on Sunday afternoon, July 27.  Tickets are only $75 and can be purchased at our Bookstore in the Library or on our website here. All the monies raised goes to support our Library. See you there!

Sincerely,

Susan Pantages
Diamond Bar Friends of the Library President
