Hal Ottoway is a collector of historical items, including the lowly postcard. He reminds us that the postcard was an important means of communication before telephones and telegraphs. Postcard art often captures the time and place of a community's significant people, buildings, and events. He will look at the history of Wichita through his extensive collection of postcards.
Last week, you should have received an email with the forms you need to get involved in this year’s Wine Dinner, including the Reservation Form, Sponsorship Form, and Auction/Donation Form. There are many ways you can participate to help make this our most successful event yet!
In addition to submitting your forms, we’re now accepting bottle donations of wine at our weekly club meetings.
Your support directly benefits the West Wichita Charitable Foundation, allowing us to continue making a meaningful impact both in our local community and around the world.
