Willow Glen Foundation strikes gold

From The Willow Glen Times

The Willow Glen Foundation held its annual fundraiser on Nov. 2 and the money raised will make a lot of dreams come true for the middle and high schools.

This year the seventh annual wine tasting and auction was held in the new Willow Glen Library allowing those attending to spread out. For the past two years, it was held at the Garden Theater Building, which provided more room than the Grapevine, where it started. The library venue was perfect, allowing people to move around easily and be heard. In fact, the number of attendees has grown with the site. About 120 people attended the events held at the Grapevine, increasing to about 250 last year. This year, more than 350 attended.

The collections were also up this year, with a net of more than $35,000 compared with $30,000 last year, despite the economic crisis.
