Whidbey Wine, Dine and Dance

The Impaired Impact Driving Panel of Island County will hold its annual fundraiser Saturday, Oct. 8, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Elks Lodge in Oak Harbor.

This year’s event is called Whidbey Wine, Dine and Dance, and will include wine tasting, a four-course Italian Dinner, a silent and live auction and music from the SeaNotes Big Band.

Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door, if there are any left. Tables for eight can also be reserved and will cost $160 if purchased by Oct. 1. Tickets are available at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce or by calling IDIPIC at 672-8219. Reserved tickets can be picked up at the event.

Those who cannot attend and would like to support IDIPIC’s work for “safer kids, safer roads” can mail their donation to IDIPIC, P.O. Box 358, Oak Harbor, WA,  98277.

All proceeds will benefit IDIPIC’s prevention work, which includes DUI and underage drinking panels in Oak Harbor and at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, driver’s education class instruction and pre-prom safety events at Oak Harbor High School and other safe presentations at Oak Harbor middle and elementary schools.
