Fifteen local restaurants and 25 Northern California wineries are onboard to serve the throng of people expected to turn out of the 39th annual Soroptimist Wine Tasting.

More than $63,000 was raised at the 2008 event. Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe uses the money to help groups like the SLT Women’s Center, Boys and Girls Club, OPEN, Special Olympics, A Fighting Chance, Lake Tahoe Community College and others.

Formerly called An Evening of Food and Wine, the event is Nov. 13 at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe.

The service club still needs silent auction and raffle items.
