The Board has evaluated and approved a grape procurement proposal to move the open enrollment period for grape purchases to a start date of April 1st instead of May 1st.
This decision was made in order to better compete with the many other entities vying for Washington State fruit. We encourage club members to send in their membership payments soon as this is a requirement for participating in the April 1st procurement activities.
The board also approved the purchase of new macrobins and food grade pitchforks to better handle crush activities, and new glasses for club tastings and recognition events.
