The AIDS Council is now accepting sponsors, restaurants and auction items for its highly anticipated annual wine celebration, Beaujolais Nouveau, to be held on Thursday, November 20, 2008. Honorary Committee tickets are also available.

This year’s celebration will be enhanced by our new location, Michael’s Banquet House in Latham, which will allow our guests more room to socialize, convenient highway access, and plenty of free parking. Guests will enjoy Beaujolais Nouveau and a variety of other wines while sampling fine cuisine from our area’s most notable restaurants and caterers. Live entertainment, dancing, and a silent auction will round out the night of fun. Last year, more than 700 guests joined the celebration and helped raise $65,000 to support the services of the AIDS Council; this year – with your help – we will raise even more!

The Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Celebration is one of the world’s great wine tasting traditions. Each year, thousands of people across the globe rush to be the first to taste the new vintage. By joining in the celebration, you also provide crucial support for people in Northeastern New York living with HIV/AIDS as well as funds to help the AIDS Council prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS throughout our region.

Please help us by lending your name and your support to the Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Celebration. Honorary Committee members and Sponsors will be featured in the invitation and program book of this highly-publicized and visible event and will also receive access to our special VIP reception and private wine tasting.

Thank you for your continued support of the AIDS Council and the many individuals and families it serves. We look forward to seeing you in November!
