The Animal Care Council in Endicott has moved it's late fall wine tasting to early fall as final preparations are being made for this Friday night's annual Wine Tasting fundraiser, 5:30-7:30 at the Knights of Columbus Club, 126 Main Street (across from St. James Church) in Johnson City.  It's earlier this year in hopes of getting more people to come out.

The Annual Wine Tasting brings together a nice variety of Finger Lake Wineries, beer from local breweries, live music, hors d'oeuvres, a silent auction of one-of-a-kind finds and donations from local businesses, as well as door prizes and other giveaways.  Your presence will help them continue their mission of helping animals in our community.

The Animal Care Council is a local, almost 100% volunteer, non-profit organization with a mission to reduce the population of unwanted animals through an aggressive, low cost spay/neuter program, rescue homeless animals and provide shelter for them, and adopt out to good homes.  ACC has a public shelter at 131 Washington Avenue, Endicott, as well as a network of foster homes for cats and dogs.

The organization's annual expenses are approximately $200,000, and funded entirely by fundraisers, contributions, and nominal fees for services.

Tickets for the wine tasting are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.  Advance tickets are available at the ACC shelter on Washington Avenue, Endicott, also at Vestal Wine and Liquor, Health Beat, Johnson City, Kathy's Grooming, 95 Bavier Street, Binghamton and A Frame Shoppe, 320 Water Street, Binghamton.

Come out for a fun evening of wine and beer sampling and help the homeless animals in our community.
