Chocolate and Wine Transformed into Books, Etc.
 The Friends of the Monterey Public Library have done it again! The February 17 Chocolate & Wine Tasting Benefit was a huge success. The Friends raised $12,500 for books, programs, and other library resources. The event attracted over 300 people who indulged in the enjoyment of delicious chocolate treats and sampled a wide variety of wines, including sparkling wines and port. A huge thanks to the Friends who worked so hard to put together the event, to all the wineries, restaurants, grocers, bakeries, businesses and individuals who donated to the delicious wares, as well as the wonderful items for the Silent Auction. And, a big thanks to those who purchased a ticket and made the event into the best party of the year!
