The Rockport Rotary Club held a wine, beer and whiskey tasting fundraising event” on April 28, 2018. The event was held at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport. The Roaring 20s/Prohibition Era was the theme for the evening with period music, décor and dress attire. I was a fun and enjoyable evening for everyone that attended. A collection of fine wine, beer and spirits was provided by Seabreeze Liquors of Gloucester. Chas. E. Kreis from Rockport catered the event with an assortment of delicious cold and hot hors d’oeuvres served by fellow Rotarians dressed in formal Roaring 20s costumes.
 
Over 30 beautifully arranged baskets, all with different themes were raffled towards the end of evening followed by a silent auction and the announcement of the three best Roaring 20s costume winners.

Susan King, President Elect of the Rockport Rotary Club did an amazing job chairing the event. She was assisted by fellow Rotarians, their families and friends, making the event enjoyable for all the guests.

The Rockport Rotary Club wants to extend a special thank you to everyone that attended the event, sponsors (Seabreeze Liquors of Gloucester and Bank Gloucester), The Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, Chas Kreis, donors of gift items/gift-certificates, fellow Rotarians, friends, families and our community for making our “SPEAKEASY’ a success.

All proceeds will benefit the Rockport Rotary Club’s Community & International Service Projects.
