Legal Aid Foundation Wine Tasting

The Legal Aid Foundation’s Wine and Beer Tasting and Silent Auction on Oct. 21 was a great success. The nearly 300 people who attended helped raise over $17,000. The net proceeds will provide much-needed funding for the work of Colorado Legal Services in providing legal assistance to low-income people in Colorado.
