LIVE ITEM REVEALED – Dinner for 10 catered by our very own, Chef Michael Strimban
For this wine pairing dinner, St. John’s own amazing Chef Michael Strimban will prepare a delicious five-course meal of locally sourced seafood and your choice of prime cuts along with expertly prepared sides. Ambassador Wines will select the perfect wines from their estate vineyard for each course. For this unforgettable event, Julie Clark will host 10 people at her North Beach home on a date to be determined by the winning bidder and event hosts. Kimberly Butler, a St. John parent who attended last year’s Chef Michael dinner, said, “LOVED THIS EVENT. I have done many in my time and this one is at the TOP!!!”

SPECIAL WINE GLASSES CREATED BY THE CLASS OF 2018
Our 8th graders have created etched stemless wine glasses to celebrate their past nine years at St. John. Jen Bergman and her team lead the students in creating these masterpieces. They used words from the school themes of the last nine years – Wonder, Light, Love, etc. These wine glasses are available to the entire St. John community for $15 each. A few examples are shown here. See all of them and order one or a dozen on the St. John Auction webpage. We are submitting our first wine glass order next Friday, March 30. Please order your glasses before then, thank you.
