Black Pearl Rosé 2011 vintage, NOW ON SALE!!!!

MEG - OUR LITTLE PEARL NEEDS YOU HELP.
Meg is 4 years old and has spastic Quadreplegic Cerebal Palsy.
We are launching the second release of Meg's rosé wine called Black Pearl.
The idea for this fundraising effort came from winemaker & family friend Eleana Anderson of Mayford Wines (www.mayfordwines.com) who has lovingly donated her time and resources.
This wine is made from donated grapes grown in the Alpine Valleys by Mayford & Michelini wines, (www.micheliniwines.com.au) and bottled with assistance from Ringer Reef Wines (www.ringerreef.com.au) and picked, bottled, labeled and packed by volunteers.
A big, huge thank you to all those who gave their time and assistance.
The rosé was certainly made with love, you can taste it in every bottle!
The funds raised from the sale of this wine will be used for Megs future needs,
including this year the purchase of her first wheelchair.
For sale at Alpine Visitor Centres, in Bright, Mt Beauty & Myrtleford, & Food, Wine, Friends in Bright or print the order form below and we will deliver! Please help us to help Meg. For wine enquiries please email Kate - casleyke@bigpond.com. Enjoy!

Meg Margaret has Angels - fundraisers


For months now friends have been asking if they could do something to help Meg - both financially and in-kind. For me, the whole situation and looking after Meg has been all I could think about. The thought of doing something in addition to this was overwhelming. So to date, I haven't accepted or started anything in  addition to just simply, taking care of Meg, learning about her condition and seeing how the whole healthcare system works in this area (no mean feat believe me!)

A month ago an old friend had a suggestion to start a fundraiser for Meg and her future needs.

It was a little out of my capacity time wise to start a fundraiser then run with it... however it has been at the back of my mind. Meg's needs and wants are always my priority and it is a catch 22 situation... I just haven't had the energy or time lately.

My old friend Carol Binder, asked if she could take charge of the fundraising.. having a background in event co ordination Carol Binder (a local girl) rounded up a few friends, mostly local and started to build it from the ground up... gathering help along the way from all of the lovely friends I have who have offered their assistance.

To date we are looking into running a raffle over winter then having a huge fundraising bash towards the end of the year.

I'll keep you up to date with any developments along the way.
