Dear VPTA member,


I would like to extend a special invitation to you, and your friends
and colleagues, to participate in the Second Annual Fall Winetasting to
benefit the Virginia Physical Therapy Association Political Action
Committee. It will take place Thursday, October 20, 2005 (the evening
following our Board of Director’s meeting) from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the
home of George Maihafer. George’s home in Norfolk resides on the Lafayette
River which will offer a unique and scenic setting for this event.
The evening’s activities will include a wine tasting
“competition”
between of wines from France and Australia presented by renowned wine
educator and columnist Layne Witherell. Layne is reprising his role as our
“master of ceremonies” from last year and promises to be equally
entertaining. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served to compliment the wines.
Transportation is being planned for those participants who need it between
the conference hotel in Portsmouth and George’s home in Norfolk.
The ticket price for the event is $35.00 with sponsorship
opportunities available as well. Checks can be made payable to VPTA PAC,
unfortunately the PAC is not set up to take credit cards at this time. The
event is limited to 60 guests and responding by October 4th would increase
the chances of ticket availability.
Please send your check and, in the memo line, indicate PAC
winetasting. Please send your check made out to VPTA PAC to:

Sydney Sawyer, PAC Treasurer
11907 Henderson Court
Clifton, VA 20124-5509

Hope to see you there. If you have already reserved your spot thank
you for your support and I look forward to toasting you at the winetasting!

With Warm Regards,

George Maihafer, PT, PhD
PAC Chair
