It sure
is amazing what you can accomplish when you put
your mind to something. I would like to
personally thank everyone that came out and
supported our Spicewood Fire Fundraiser. In
roughly 72 hours Spicewood Vineyards, Chef Taylor
& Casie Hall, and the Spicewood Arts Society
put together a party that raised over $40,000 for
victims of the fire and the fire departments that
saved many of us. A special thank you goes
out to our event coordinator Annie Berg who
diligently gathered silent auction items and
helped plan the event, to Jeff and Laurie Hall for
their instrumental help and to all the musicians
and volunteers that helped make this fundraiser
not only possible, but successful.
