The
Autumn Vintage Wine Gala & Auction is an annual fund-raising event held in the
fall to benefit various departments at College of the Redwoods. Sponsored
by College of the Redwoods, the Gala & Auction is
held at the historic Eureka Inn where participants enjoy a weekend of live
music, food, dancing, and wine. Various businesses donate wine, food, and
lodging as items for the silent and live auction.
Every year proceeds from this event
goes to support a selected department at College of the Redwoods. In past
years, the Disabled Student Services, Dental Hygienist Program, and Hospitality
Institute have benefited from the Gala & Auction. Behind all the fun and
fund-raising, a lot of work was devoted to preparing for the successful event.
Several individuals and campus clubs volunteered their time to decorate, present
auction items, and clean up after the event. AGS spent a Sunday afternoon
bringing down the lights and transporting boxes to storage.
