A sell-out patronage of 200 wine aficionados is expected for the 19th Annual Redmond Kiwanis Vintner’s Dinner and Auction on Friday, May 9th, at St. Thomas Catholic Church.
Charlie and Shannon Doumo’s Core Catering is back for the third successive year preparing a phenomenal 5-course meal paired with wines from Maryhill Winery across the Columbia River near Goldendale, Wash.
The largest fundraising event for our club, the dinner will again benefit the playground at the new pool and recreation center under construction by Redmond Area Parks and Recreation District.
Kirby Nagelhout Construction, the general contractor on the project, is encoring as the title sponsor.
The menu and wine pairings are complete. Now the committee, co-chaired by Dan Tippy and Carl Vertrees, is seeking sponsors to help underwrite the expenses and oral and silent auction items to boost the revenue. Kiwanis members will be asked to help secure auction items to boost the revenue.
Sponsorships are available from $500 for a course, ticket, or wine sponsorship which includes two tickets, to corporate tables for eight at $1,250, to contributing and auction sponsorships up to $10,000. Aaron Tanler of Tanler Auctions will repeat as auctioneer.

Introducing Redmond Kiwanis
Our Mission
The Kiwanis Club of Redmond improves the lives of the youth and families of Redmond and the surrounding communities through increasing hours of service, dollars of support and by acting as positive role models for the youth and future leaders of the community.
Our club is proud to serve Redmond with an emphasis on projects that benefit youth-oriented programs. The club's single biggest fundraiser is the Vintner's Dinner each May. It's a celebration of fine food paired with fine wine, offering a silent and live auction along with several raffles.
The Redmond Kiwanis Foundation was established in 1966 and has become a major bricks-and-mortar contributor in the community. The single largest project was the construction of the Kiwanis Cascade Swim Center which opened in 1979. The foundation has dedicated funds for parks improvements, Redmond High School athletics and high school and college scholarships. The foundation is governed by a five-member board, elected by and from Redmond Kiwanis membership.
