Escape to St. Croix! Description Senior Pastor Alice Rogers of Glenn Memorial UMC will host a delicious dinner for eight at the historic Glenn parsonage in Druid Hills. Great company, fine wine, delicious cuisine and a memorable event! So very special - a round of golf for 4 at Atlanta’s host of the PGA Tour Cahmpionship, historic East Lake Golf Club—with lunch included! A vacation getaway to sunny Florida at Cape San Blas Beach, just barely south of Panama City Beach! It's a 4 Night Stay in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo 1 block inland with a pool and they are dog friendly! 8 days and 7 nights at this 2 Bd/2Ba apartment on the Île de la Cité. Full kitchen, sleeps up to six. Directly across the street from Notre Dame Cathedral with views of the cathedral. C'est magnifique! American Sailing Association certified charter captain and Intown Board Member Brian Liddy will take 4 on a 3-4 hour sailing cruise on his 28 foot Hunter sailboat on Lake Lanier. Learn the ropes and lingo of sailing by performing crew duties and taking the helm or just sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet of an afternoon sailing excursion. Pick late afternoon for a possible sunset sail or pick a full moon date to watch the sunset and full moon rise within the same window. If used during the summer, take time for a shore excursion to swim in the lake. A post sale meal of Memphis BBQ style pork ribs completes the package. Captain Liddy is also an award-winning BBQ Master and will cook a full rack of ribs plus all the fixings PLUS beer, wine, and rum included. At the Gentle Winds, your condo is located on the North Shore of St. Croix and built on 66 acres of ocean front property with spectacular views from all units. The popular dive spot named West Wall is located just off the front beach where two dive boats can be seen anchoring for their guests to enjoy their mid morning or mid afternoon dives. You will be within a 5 minute walk, under 1/2 mile, to the dive center named Anchor Dive Shop. There's a beautiful sandy beach with palm trees and plenty of lounge chairs to pull into the sun or pull under a palm lined cabana for some shade and a roped off section for swimming - take your mask and snorkel to discover some colorful local coral fish. This condo has all of the island amenities : refrigerator/ stove / microwave / washer dryer / Wifi (but you should be relaxing!) The Beach Shack serves a delicious burger and lentil salad which I highly recommend while you are enjoying your rum drink or iced cold beer. If you want some activity on the property before relaxing ocean side, try a game of tennis, a (short) round of golf, ping pong or Shuffleboard. Or go into town to compete with one of the local crab races to win prizes! This property is well maintained - and if you can find the man trimming the coconut palms just kindly ask if he would pull out his machete to serve up some fresh-fresh-fresh coconut milk.

MARIO ANDRETTI WINE (TWO BOTTLES SIGNED) Mario Andretti is a true American sports icon. Born in Montona, Italy (now Croatia), he fell in love with racing as a young boy, following the exploits of his countrymen, World Champions Alberto Ascari and Nino Farina. When Mario was 15 his family moved to the United States and settled in Nazareth, PA, where he began his driving career in jalopies. He went on to race sports cars, sprint cars and stock cars - on ovals, road courses, drag strips, on dirt and on pavement. He won at virtually every level of competition, and claimed an unmatched collection of the sport’s top honors: the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500, the Formula One World Championship and the Pikes Peak Hillclimb. He claimed the Indy Car National Championship four times, and was a three-time winner of the 12 Hours of Sebring. When he retired at the end of 1994, Mario turned his attention to his other great passion, fine wines. He and friend Joe Antonini established a 42-acre winery in California’s Napa Valley, and picked acclaimed winemaker Bob Pepi to oversee it. Mario and his wife Dee Ann are proud to offer from their personal cellar the Andretti Montona Reserve Caberet Sauvignon 2011, and an Andretti Napa Chardonnay 2012, each bottle autographed by Mario himself.

The Connelly and Toulme clans offer Laphroaig 15 year Scotch Whisky and SCOTLAND, created by American map publisher Anthony Finley (flourished 17901840). Sip while you search for your distilling region. A Rare Classic, reported to be the personal favorite of the Prince of Wales, this bottle has been in the donor's collection since 2005. "The most richly flavored of all Scotch whiskies" . . . Unavailable in the U.S. since 2009, the 15 year old Laphroaig is smooth and elegant: zesty oak and warm peat smoke top notes with sweet undertones, reminiscent of fresh nutmeg and toasted almonds, faintly salty. The map: SCOTLAND was created by Anthony Finley, an American map publisher based in Philadelphia, PA. His most prominent works, A New American Atlas and the New General Atlas were published from 1824 to 1834 as handcolored engravings. His works are known for being attractively sparse and minimalist, focusing primarily on clarity and displaying only the most important facts. This map was selected by a fine Scotch collector who was researching origins and regions of the scotches he collected. The hydrographic and topographic characteristics of this map are imperative for such study and the Finley map offers general information to this end. The numerous notations of Towns, Cities and Shires are helpful in locating at a glance the distillery's general location. The publication date of this map, 1827, represents a sort of 'sweet spot' for distilling activities by some of the regions finest Scotch makers, a number of which are still active today.
