Letter to the editor: Thanks to community for supporting Edmonds Wine Walks

Dear Editor:

What a success! The 2018 Edmonds Wine Walks are now in the books, and we blew away last year both in terms of attendance and money raised to support Art Walk Edmonds and the arts in Edmonds.

The Art Walk Edmonds’ Board of Directors would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, and volunteered for your commitment to making these events so successful. Art Walk Edmonds depends on these fundraisers to continue our work through the year supporting local artists, downtown merchants, and the community of Edmonds through our monthly art walks held the third Thursday of every month from 5-8pm. A significant portion of what we earn will go towards installing new murals in Edmonds as well. Your generous support helped to make the wine walks our most rewarding fundraisers to date.

All attendees had a fun and festive time sampling wine and supporting the arts in Edmonds. That was, in no small part, due to our volunteers. We are especially grateful for the participation of the Edmonds Coldwell Banker Bain office.

Coldwell Banker Bain Edmonds not only served as a center of operations, check-in, sip stop and pop-up wine shop for the wine walks, but also generously donated printing and volunteers. At one point during the last wine walk, it was noted that other than the event promoter and Art Walk Edmonds board members, all the volunteers present were from Coldwell Banker Bain Edmonds!

Coldwell Banker Bain has been supportive of Art Walk Edmonds throughout the years in other immeasurable ways: graciously providing meeting rooms, storage and printing support, among other things – always with a smile!

Thank you also to our other sponsors for the Wine Walk events: Adam Cobb at Windermere Real Estate Edmonds who sponsored the wine glasses; Samantha Denson at Windermere Real Estate Edmonds who sponsored the wine tote bags; Affinity Contemporary Dentistry; Ombu Salon + Spa and Cole Gallery.

As a small nonprofit with a small budget, our relationship with everyone else who supports us through sponsorships or donations is vital to Art Walk Edmonds’ mission. We couldn’t be more grateful!

All our thanks,

Rachel Dobbins
on behalf of The Art Walk Edmonds Team
