More than 100 councilors spent a fun-filled evening on March 26 at the second annual LC wine tasting and silent auction to benefit ASHA's legislative efforts and the work of the ASHA-PAC. During the tasting, conducted by Rob Stewart of the Sommelier Food and Wine Society of Washington, DC, attendees bid on such items as lunch with ASHA's executive director, Academy Award-winning movies, and antique vases. Even President Bush, in the form of a cardboard cutout, made an appearance and posed for a few pictures. Congratulations to the winners of the silent auction: Roberta Aungst, Larry Higdon, Catherine Gottfred, Susan Freiman, Laurel Stine, Les Aungst, Melissa Jakubowitz, Meredith Boo, Doris Snyder, Linda Tepperman, Lynn Blachman, DeAnne Owre, Kathleen Peterson, Mary Hooper, and Ken Bouchard.
Events such as the annual wine-tasting and silent auction raise awareness of the work of the ASHA-PAC. Many of the champions for ASHA's issues in education, health care, and research funding are involved in tough races during this election year. A contribution for ASHA-PAC can help ensure that the friends of speech-language pathology and audiology win seats in Congress.
