SUMMARY:California Dreamin’ with Stolpman Vineyards – March 19th (Tria Wash West)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Pete Stolpman \nOver 20 years ago\, Tom Stolpman discovered what he believes to be one of the greatest viticultural sites on Earth. Hidden in the hills of California’s Central Coast\, on a rare Limestone outcropping and unobstructed from the Pacific Ocean wind\, a unique land naturally suited to grow Syrah and Roussanne grapes came to be what we now know as Stolpman Vineyards \nIn 2009\, Tom’s son Peter joined the family business after working in various aspects of wine distribution. Stolpman Vineyards has now grown to produce several cuveés. They are committed to preserving their natural environment through conscious and dry farming\, as well as sustainable employment to help preserve the integrity of such stunning Syrah\, Grenache\, Chenin\, and more! \nIt is a pleasure to have Peter join us at Tria for this special one-night-only Meet the Winemaker as we dive headfirst into six special wines that define what it means to be Stolpman. \nCome with an open mind and palate. As always\, tasty Tria snacks will be served\, and we encourage you to join us for Tria’s Happier Hour from 4 to 6 pm before class! \nBottles will be available for sale after the class. \nDetails \nWednesday\, March 19\, 2025 \n6:30 – 8:00 pm \nTria Wash West\, 1137 Spruce Street\, Philadelphia\, PA 19107 \n$75 per guest

SUMMARY:Clinic Cleaners
DESCRIPTION:Clinic Cleaners are volunteers who help us maintain a neat and tidy space for our patients at the Wildlife Clinic.\nWildlife rehabilitation can be messy work\, and volunteers foster a healthy environment by assisting with laundry\, sweeping floors\, and cleaning the lobby. This allows our expert staff to focus more time on caring for the thousands of animals that the Wildlife Clinic cares for every year.\nRegister Now\nCleaning materials and personal protective equipment\, such as gloves and masks\, are provided. Volunteers should wear clothing they don’t mind getting dirty (yes\, that includes animal waste) and sturdy closed-toe shoes. Clinic Cleaners will not be working directly with animals or have access to patient areas. Clinic Cleaners must be at least 18 years old to sign up. Due to limited space\, we are unable to accept walk-ins.\nCan’t make this date but want to attend an upcoming event? Fill out our volunteer application and we’ll let you know about upcoming volunteer opportunities here at the Schuylkill Center!
