3rd Annual Drink Pink for the Cure! - May 31

Connecting good friends with great wine!

Never Drink Ordinary!

Drink Pink! is almost here...

Sunday, May 31 2-5 PM

Once a year, we combine our passion for dry rose wines with our passion for eradicating cancer to host Drink Pink for the Cure!

I cannot think of a more important cause, or a more personal one. Literally every person I know has been touched by cancer. Let's help to change that.

We will have tons of dry rose, plus some reds and whites for the uninitiated! Privateer Rum will be making fabulous (pink!) cocktails. Whole Foods is contributing cheese and fruit. The Snappy Dogs ladies will be here in the parking lot. We'll have some raffle items. We'll have a boatload of fun.

We will also make a difference. Every penny of your $20 ticket is a direct contribution to Making Strides, and Pour Richard's will also donate a percentage of our profits from sales.

Your $20 ticket includes a Riedel crystal wine glass, etched with 'Drink Pink for the Cure'. Please consider attending this event and bringing friends.

Tickets now available in-store, or click HERE to purchase online.

Never Drink Ordinary! -Ann and John

Please share this email with friends who are enthusiastic about great wine, beer, and spirits. (Keeping all the good stuff for yourself is bad karma.)

Nathan Freeman, 36, of Franklin, pleaded not guilty at his Wrentham District Court arraignment Monday to possession with intent to distribute a Class A substance; possession with intent to distribute a Class D substance (marijuana) and possession to distribute a Class A substance (Suboxone).

Freeman was indicted in Norfolk Superior Court on April 29 on different heroin and marijuana distribution charges, officials said, and a judge revoked his bail on that case and ordered him held without bail for 90 days. He will be arraigned June 3 in Superior Court.

A group of Town Council members met privately with the police chief on Thursday to discuss what actions the department is taking in response to the state's opioid epidemic.

The meeting followed the arrests last week of three men and two women who were allegedly part of a local heroin distribution organization.

As a result of the meeting, the department added information on its website about opioid overdoses, including a YouTube video on risk factors and a state report on response strategies.
