Backaround:
Soroptimist International of Palm Desert, the El Paseo Business Association, and local
galleries and restaurants are joining once again to host the Annual Art & Wine Tour of El
Paseo on Friday, February 16, 2007. Each year this event is organized to raise funds to
provide scholarships and benefit several desert charities.
Participants will enjoy an evening of wine tasting and food sampling while browsing the
fine art galleries along El Paseo. The tour of the galleries is completely self -directed, so
participants can begin at any gallery and enjoy the event at their own pace.
The City of Palm Desert has sponsored this event in the past and is once again being
requested to participate by funding the operation of the Courtesy Carts and rental of klieg
lights during the event. Klieg light rental is not to exceed $1,000.00 and the Courtesy Cart
expenses will run approximately $400.00 for the evening. The City will receive recognition
as a sponsor in event advertising and programs.
