Grand prize winners of November's Caring for Our Community Raffle, held by the Rotary Club of Palm Valley, recently enjoyed their prize: an executive chef-created multi-course dinner with paired wines at Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club. After the guests arrived by limousine, they were warmly welcomed with butler-passed champagne and hors d'oeuvres, and an impressive charcuterie set up in front of a roaring fire in the mansion's Brandywine Room, where they enjoyed a sunset view of the St. Johns River. Each course, including desert, was accompanied with a specially selected wine. Pictured are Kevin Carter, Marti Tyrrel (the winning ticket holder), Steve Tyrrel, Lori Beechuck, Nancy Goodwin and Frankie Redding.
The Palm Valley Rotary Club thanked those who purchased tickets for their annual Caring for Our Community Raffle. Proceeds went toward helping support Down Syndrome Jacksonville, S.A.F.E. Animal Rescue (a no-kill animal shelter) and Gabriel House (a nonprofit health hospitality facility on the Mayo Clinic campus).
