The New Dominion Women’s Club hosted the “Second Annual Whiskey Tasting” to support local charity organizations. The event was held at a beautiful new home in the River Oaks neighborhood provided by Capital City Builders. At this tasting, local whiskey connoisseur, Joe Nelson, carefully selected unique spirits to savor and talked about their crafting. Hors d’oeuvres were served to complement the tasting. It was an enjoyable and educational event.

Alina LeMay, NDWC president, announced new beneficiaries will be the Falls Church/McLean Children’s Center, McLean Project for the Arts, Safe Community Coalition, and SHARE. The club will host additional fundraising events to support these organizations until June 2016.

Monica Gibson was the chair of “Second Annual Whiskey Tasting” event committee. Other members on the planning committee included Kimberly Coer, MaryAnn Miller, Karen Martins, Joan Murray, Stacie Steinke and Roxanne Nunes.
