Take a Sip Out of Hunger

            

           Pepper’s at Uptown has had a free wine tasting every Wednesday for a while, it is an educational experience for you to attend,  you learn just about every detail about the wine, as I had mentioned before, Bert (the bar manager) will explain to you where it came from, the temperature of storage, the type of wine it is, about the company of the wine, if it’s a family operated business… ok, I’ll stop here.. you get the point.. he knows it all… and he will make sure you do to.
           So Pepper’s loves to give back, and I (Lizbeth Muriel) love to organize events.. so that’s how this event was created “TAKE A SIP OUT OF HUNGER" an event with IloveMcAllen.com in partnership with Pepper’s at Uptown, benefiting Food Bank RGV.

              The first Take a Sip Out of Hunger took place at Pepper’s Wednesday August 26, 2009 from 6pm to 8pm.  So what’s  up with this event anyways? You how this event went about..  let me walk you through this event…  You show up.. between the hours of 6pm and 8pm.. you take a seat, tell the hostess or a staff from Pepper’s that you want to participate in the event, so then they inform me.. and I go over, I introduce myself, over your table with a paper table cover, give you your bag with a wine glass that comes in a brown little baggy with the infamous mini IloveMcAllen.com mini-bumper sticker, it also comes with a box that is full of goodies such as rhinestones, ribbons googlie eyes for you to decorate your wine glass, then I take your $10 in cash or check,  then I will come back and give you a table kit.. which is a baggie full of crayons, sharpies, a paint palette, and a little cup of water for you to clean your brush.

               The first event was wonderful! I appreciate all of the support that was given to the Food Bank. On behalf of the Food Bank, I would like to thank you for participating, and I want to invite you to joins us to the next TAKE A SIP OUT OF HUNGER, it was fun, and ask anyone who was there they had a blast!!  I saw soo many creative people, and the cups.. ohh.. the guys were gorgeous!! Enjoy the pictures!! And See you next Wednesday.
