The Friends of Dedham Civic Pride are pleased to announce that Needham Bank will be the premier sponsor of their 7th Annual Beer and Wine Tasting that will be held at the Endicott Estate on Friday, November 1, 2019 from 6:30 – 9:30 pm.
Needham Bank first opened its doors in 1892. It has grown and changed through the years and now has 10 branches, including one in Dedham on Washington Street. In 2019 alone, Needham Bank has partnered directly with over 300 community non-profits, donating over $600,000 and 2,500 volunteer hours to the arts, education, affordable housing, health and human services, and community development.
While not as long standing as Needham Bank, Civic Pride will celebrate its 25th Anniversary at the Beer and Wine Tasting. Through the years the programs of Civic Pride have grown where the committee is now responsible for over 60 Sponsor-A-Spots, over 80 flowerpots and containers, have placed close to 70 benches throughout the town. We have organized town wide clean ups, participated in community events like Dedham Day where we have given out countless pumpkins to children; the Farmer’s Market and Fairbanks Fall Festival where families have gone home with daffodils bulbs to plant in their yards.
The 7th Annual Beer & Wine Tasting fundraiser will help the committee to continue with the programs that enhance the neighborhoods in our town. The wine for the event is generously donated by Fine Estate of Spain. Boston Beeventures will be on hand to educated craft beer lovers about local beers, such as Castle Island Brewing Co, who contributed their craft beers to the event. Food from Wegman’s and Roche Brothers along with other samplings from local restaurants will round out the menu.
Guests can also take raffle chances on some fine items. A gift basket donated by Décor & More in Westwood, a Castle Island Beer Basket, a wine basket and some restaurant gift cards will be on the raffle table.
Advance tickets are $40 and are available at Eventbrite. Com. Door tickets will be $45. For more information, contact Janet Holmes at 781-249-9258.
