More than 300 Revel at 'Bottle Shots' Fundraiser at Seghesio Family Vineyards

Attendance for Healdsburg Active 20-30 Club event doubled from last year -- all to benefit Healdsburg Education Foundation.

More than 300 tickets were sold for this year's "Bottle Shots" event, the major fundraiser of the year for the

"Bottle Shots" took place at and featured performances by two bands -- and Pat Jordan Band.

Proceeds go toward the nonprofit said Pamela Swan, HEF executive director.

"We are committed to promoting and sustaining educational excellence for ALL children in the Healdsburg area public schools," Swan said.

President Dan Chapin and Secretary Amanda Erlendson said they were pleased with the turnout and the success of the event.

"We had about 150 tickets sold last year, so this is double from that," Erlendson said.

In addition to donations from area food and wine vendors, Sonoma photographers Rick Bolen and Harry Blum donated free portrait shots of the attendees.

Blum said the photos will be posted on the "Bottle Shots" Facebook page.

Although I received your invitation notice in the morning I was unable to attend because of plannedRead More activities. However, I think it's a good idea for you to do and thanks for initiative. The Patch could be a good idea however, for me, in addition to local community events and activities the articles have to offer objectivity. If you have a political and/or ideological scant I would discontinue to be a reader and thus not a contributor or letter writer. I think open discussion is good and that conflict is good as it could be about positive change however, I have many too many activities to occupy my time. 1. My question to you is as the editor what is your vision for Patch and at this point what is your plan to accomplish that vision. Societies large and small are looking for people with vision and mission. I am not suggesting you write your vision because the readership will see it soon enough. 2.What is Patch really? 3. What is the criteria to inspire you to write an editorial? 4. What makes Patch different from the other online newspapers? Christian, I would suggest that you encourage discourse but set up a few basic ground rules. I prefer that all communication be courteous and civil but being comfortably edgy is OK. You should reserve to right to pull any vindictive commentary/communication. How about a section or column with interviews with people who are doing interesting things outside the realm of Healdsburg events. Good luck!

A. Did not know about your "event" B. This article is more about the one person that didRead More show up - good advertising.....? C. Agree, news comes in very late and an editor needs to be on TOP of what's going on in this town ... everything from school events to Garden Club happenings. D. Mike McGuire typically posts after an event / or during -= around Sonoma Co. with pictures ... this is not so bad because it is usually a specific group he is working with, however, I think he also does a good job of "...hope to see you there..." - I don't see that on the Patch any longer. E. When questions are asked like (paraphrase): "Wow, breezy out there. Anyone see any trees down?" It is rather like the Patch editor has not been outside looking about - why not comment on a few things and then ask the readers. F. Most of the questions have been boring... but, if reporting is done first, then people would likely be more inclined to even open an article and take a peek. My 6 cents. Z

I find this often with the people over at the Healdsburg patch. Yes, you are right Christian we haveRead More plenty of sandwich places but come on! its our job as locals to be supportive of new business in healdsburg. They're investing in our tiny closknit town. Togos might be a franchise but what about that place called partake? Just another wine tasting room. I don't see an article about them listing all the other random tasting rooms it's competing with. I don't worry The Healdsburg patch has such little following in town anyway, they should just stick to recycling old articles from the Press Democrat. Thank you Healdsburg Patch for wasting our time. Yours truly the healdsburg local

Marilyn, read the article again...the article clearly states the business is not needed. So please,Read More lighten up, reread the article and form a clear argument for why you are upset. This article was well researched and simply showed there is no need for yet another sandwich shop.

Christian, you were RUDE. Is that the way to welcome a new business to Healdsburg? You tell us toRead More lighten up???

I spent 26 years living in San Luis Obispo, considered by many to be "the happiest place onRead More earth," however, since moving to Healdsburg in 2000, wild horses couldn't drag me back!!
