Funds the Club receives for its assistance are used to support the Amherst Rotary Club’s Globe Project, which provides world globes to all of our ACPS second-grade students.
Volunteers receive a 1-Day Personal Pass to the event, a Wine & Garlic Festival Tee, a Food Voucher, and a commemorative wine glass!
