Update: Since I first posted the original entry (below this update), the time on the invite has changed from 12pm to 11am and a meeting place has been established. Also, the deadline to respond is Thursday night (tonight). I just realized that you must have a facebook account to view the facebook invite page. If you don’t have a facebook account, here are the details:

Karen is organizing a wine tasting tour for this Saturday, May 1, from 11:00am – 5:00pm and she needs to know how many people are attending in order to set up the tour. Lunch will be “bring your own” and we will eat it at one of the wineries. We will be meeting at Adrian Cisneros’ house at 11am to carpool from there: 1807 Holly Drive in Lodi – between Loma and Mills.

Everyone is welcome, but the tour will be organized based on the confirmed number of attendees Friday morning so please RSVP by Thursday night if you can go. (If you don’t have a facebook account, you can RSVP by sending an email with the subject: “Wine Tasting” to yam@lukefive.org.)
