You are invited to an exciting evening entitled "A Rotary Toast to Women's Brain Health", a wine tasting and auction evening being held on Thurs. Oct 26th from 6:30 - 10 PM at 1100 Millwood Road, East York. Proceeds from this event will primarily go towards research and education programs at Women’s Brain Health Initiative (WBHI). As a society we are increasingly aware of the burden and devastation caused by the degenerating brain. We are learning that a significant proportion of those affected are female.

It will be a chance to meet up with Rotary friends and others interested in helping us to support this worthy cause.
