Pagano's Restaurant, Grand Rapids Michigan
February 14th, 2004

Event Coordinators: Jill Wilterdink, John Russo, and Becky Treirweiller

Wine growers from all across Michigan (including Madonna's father, Silvio Ciccone, owner of Ciccone Vineyards in Sutton's Bay, Michigan) were on hand to help us celebrate Valentine's Day and raise awareness for the Lainie's Angels cause. All told, more than 200 people gathered to enjoy wonderful food, friends and some of the best wines Michigan has to offer.

Lainie's Angels would especially like to thank John Russo, whose inspiration and initiative made this event happen.

Event highlights:

Samantha Afendoulis, Daniel Trierweiler and Philip Everse worked the registration desk and handled our raffle sales.
