The 12th annual Savor the Flavor fundraiser on March 3 at Genoa Lakes Golf Resort raised more than $21,000 that will go back into the community.
Soroptimist International publicity chair, Bronwyn Mason, and event chairperson, Brenda Cristanelli, confirmed the event's success by noting the 280-plus attendees left laughing, smiling and promising to do it again next year.
"We wish to thank everyone who attended the event, sampled wines from 20 wineries and tasted the broad range of food provided by 11 restaurants and eateries. The silent auction had more than 50 items generously donated by the business community" said Rosann Turigliatto, this year's president of Soroptimist International of Carson Valley. "We could not have hosted this event were it not for our many sponsors, who generously provided their services and time to make this event a success this year."
