Education foundation to host wine tasting

WEST MILFORD — For the first time, the West Milford Education Foundation, in conjunction with Uncorked Wines & Spirits of West Milford will host “A Taste of the Vineyards”. Slated for Saturday, October 14, this fundraiser will provide the opportunity to sample a wide variety of wines chosen specifically by Matt Mehta, a professional wine consultant. To complement the tasting experience, light fare will be served as well as coffee and dessert. Held at the lakefront lodge on Camp Ocawasin, the event will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. The foundation hopes that this will become an annual event. The education foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to focus money, resources and community private sector commitment to benefit West Milford’s public school children. It provides grants for new and existing programs, enhances the school district’s programs and curricula and also provides equipment and other materials that would not otherwise be available to the schools.
