Connecticut's Columbia Lodge No. 25 to raise scholarship funds with wine-tasting event

Now here's a great idea for a Masonic fundraiser.

Instead of selling white flour pancakes and questionable sausage links at 7 a.m., or gumming up everyone's arteries with greasy trans-fat-and-hormone-filled fried chicken and cold spaghetti, Columbia Lodge No. 25 of South Glastonbury, Connecticut, is doing something healthy and fun — conducting a wine-tasting event to raise funds for their scholarship program.

The lodge's second Annual Fall Wine Tasting Festival will be held on Saturday, October 6, from 7-10 pm at the lodge, located at 895 Main St. in South Glastonbury.

Tickets are available for a donation of $25. A maximum of 100 people will be admitted. Tickets are available at South Side Wine & Spirit Shoppe in South Glastonbury.

At last year's first annual event, $1000 was raised for the scholarship fund.

A silent auction will also be held, and door prizes will be given.

See the lodge's website for more information.
