Our friend Bill Sykes, (you may know him as the Wings Over Wine Country Ambassador for the Wildlife Center of VA) has now taken the initiative to help fund raise for The Wounded Warrior Project as well. This is a little out of my normal realm but I’m passionate about our Veterans and supporting this charity. Bill, a Navy veteran as is my husband, combines his hobby of making model airplanes (the kind you can really fly but shouldn’t because they’re just too darn beautiful to crash) and his support for the military to help create a fun event benefitting those who’ve served our country! This event should prove to be not only fun but an opportunity to eat great food and win some generous raffle prizes! Wonder if any wine is raffled?
