75th Anniversary Fundraiser – Wine with Friends
Help celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Mendham Township Library with an evening of wine, gourmet desserts, music and friends. Guests will enjoy tasting a variety of fine wines offered by Cambridge Wines, as well as, sampling delicious gourmet desserts donated by local bakeries. Well known Mendham Township musician, Dave Elgart, will delight attendees with his piano music throughout the night. In addition, the evening will feature a silent auction.
New this year! In partnership with Cambridge Wines, the Mendham Township Library will participate in Cases for a Cause. The library will receive 25% of the proceeds when a case or half a case of wine is purchased. If you are unable to attend, you can still support us by purchasing wine. You can order wine by returning the completed order form to the library.
