As a newly minted wine blogger the 2010 conference in Walla Walla, Washington is the first that I will be able to attend. I’m really looking forward to getting together with fellow bloggers, drinking some great wine, and learning the tools of the trade. Unfortunately, it will be my fourth trip to CA in a year, and being the poor college student that I am, I’m not sure if I can fund the 4 day trip on my own. Coincidentally, it falls on the first weekend of the first week of summer classes, and I can’t teach in the summer so I won’t be receiving my stipend to help fund the trip.

Luckilly, my friend Thea Dwelle heads up the WBC scholarship initiative.

This is a way to help people like me fund their trips out so that they too can experience this opportunity. The scholarship can only help fun as many people as funds are donated. If you are interested at all in donating-or know someone who would be- please pass along this link, and I’m more than willing to speak to anyone or direct them to Thea.

Thanks so much,

Emma
