A special event for adults in MARCH
Wine
Tasting Benefit for Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors
At the Amherst Farm
Winery on Thursday, March 29,
2012 from 6 pm to 9 pm
Come join us at the
Amherst Farm Winery for a Wine Tasting Event! Light snacks and wine tasting
available for $15 a ticket. All proceeds ($10 from each ticket sale and 5% of
all purchases) will be donated to Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors (April 28,
2012). Email Vivian
Liu at vivianfliu@comcast.net or Catherine Lodge at cathy51168@yahoo.com for tickets.
The Amherst Farm Winery
is located at 529 Belchertown Road, Amherst, MA.
We are raising money to
help cover costs for the Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors event, to be held on April 28, 2012, at
the Mullins Center practice arena on the UMASS campus. The event consists
of a series of hockey games
(with 8 military, police and firefighter teams), a procession at 3:00 PM to
honor our military men and women, followed by an Ice Show with Olympic, World,
and International figure skaters that includes a rose dedication to our
serving, fallen, and wounded military. Last
year, Ice Stars raised $4000 for the Wounded Warrior Project after paying off
bills, and this year we hope to do much better! We will let you know when tickets to
this year's Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors become available through the UMASS
ticketing agency.

information, please visit our website Icestarsforwoundedwarriors.weebly.com or our facebook page, Ice Stars for Wounded

Regional meeting - of interest to parents/guardians
On February 29 at 7 p.m. the Regional School District Planning Committee ( RSDPC) will hold a public forum in the Town Room at Town Hall. The committee was formed to consider whether Amherst should join with one or more towns in a regional K-6 district. The forum’s purpose is to gather community thoughts and questions regarding a possible change to the governance structure of our schools.
The information gathered at the forum will be used to identify community concerns and questions. This will assure that the RSDPC considers matters important to Amherst. In the Fall, the committee will hold a second forum to present its findings.
For those unable to attend the forum on the 29, the committee has a website with additional information and email address where community members can send questions and concerns.
The website is: amherstma.gov/rsdpc
