The 15th Annual Atascadero Kiwanis & Mayors' Winemaker Dinner 

This year's gala will be held in the Atascadero Lake Pavilion and will benefit OneCoolEarth (OCE), a non-profit organization that unites communities and schools to create thriving school garden programs that grow successful students! 

Festivities begin at 5 p.m. with wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres on the pavilion lanai, followed by a formal gourmet catered dinner with winery owners or representatives at each table. Festivities also include a live auction, a raffle, and a silent auction. Beginning June 7, you can bid on silent auction items using your cellphone on the GiveSmart app.  Text kiwanis25 to 76278.

Now in its 56th year of service in the community, Kiwanis has donated over one-half million dollars since that first dinner in 2011. The beneficiaries from our previous fundraisers have included ECHO, Joy Park playground, Boys & Girls Club, Lighthouse Mentor Program, ALF Food Pantry, along with scholarships to graduating seniors, and several other youth and community service projects / programs / causes.

"The Atascadero Kiwanis Club is excited to be coordinating the 15th Annual Winemakers Dinner. We hope you will join us this year in raising funds for One Cool Earth. This non-profit organization unites communities and schools to create thriving school garden programs. All funds raised will stay in our community and support our youth."               Greg Heath, Atascadero Kiwanis Club President
