International Women's Day celebration set at winery on Wednesday

PORT ANGELES — The 10th annual International Women’s Day celebration, an evening of homemade soups, bread, cookies, wine and conversation, is open to the public at Olympic Cellars winery this Wednesday, March 5.

Admission to the 6 p.m. gathering is a suggested $10 donation, to benefit two charities: First Step Family

Support Center of Clallam County and Madre, an international relief organization.

This International Women’s Day gathering is hosted by the local nonprofit Womanfest (Womanfest.org), with president Patricia Schromen as mistress of ceremonies and Nita Lynn, First Step’s executive director, giving a quick presentation.

Guests will also have a chance to see a short video about Madre’s work.

Olympic Cellars’ wines will be available, with a portion of proceeds to be donated to First Step and Madre.

Women, men and their families are all invited to learn more about the two organizations and about International Women’s Day at this relaxed party at the winery, 255410 U.S. Highway 101.

For more information, phone Molly Rivard at Olympic Cellars at 360-452-0160 and visit www.InternationalWomensDay.com.
