Kiwanis Plan Second Wine, Cheese, And Chocolate Event

During the spring of 2020, Karen Davis, Kiwanis Club of the Lititz Area publicity representative, saw a video of an event held by a Kiwanis Club in California. She thought the event might work well in Lititz, so she shared it with another member, and the first Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate Tasting Party was held in 2021.

"We have had requests from people who were involved in the first virtual party in January of 2021 to please do it again," said Davis. The club has responded by organizing the second Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate Tasting Party to be held via Zoom on Friday, March 11, beginning at 7 p.m. Each Zoom engagement will include commentary about pairings. Those who take part will pick up their party bags on Thursday, March 10, at a specified location in Lititz. The Zoom portion of the event is sponsored by Moravian Manor Communities.

"Each party bag will contain three bottles of wine from Portugal. Along with the wine will be tastes of cheeses and chocolates to complement each bottle," said Davis, who noted that each bag will contain enough food samples and wine for four people to enjoy. Chocolates will be provided by Evans Candy. Club members sampled the items that were chosen to be included in the bag at an early January meeting. "We share the (tasting) responsibility," noted Davis, who added that research and consultation with cheese purveyors was done for the commentary.

Proceeds from the local Kiwanis Club's events traditionally benefit various local organizations. "Everything we do is for the benefit of children," said Davis.
