Needham Bank will support the inaugural Needham Grand Wine Tasting as the event’s presenting sponsor.

The first annual event, hosted by the Needham Women’s Club (NWC), an intergenerational service and social club whose members work together to enrich the lives of the Needham community through philanthropic and outreach programs, will be held April 1.   The event will run from 3 to 6 p.m. in the newly restored Powers Hall inside Needham Town Hall.

The NWC has partnered with Higgins Wine and Spirits to offer 80 different types of wines at the event. To add to the festivities, a number of local restaurants will be invited to promote their business and provide "tastes" of menu items.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Needham Community Revitalization Trust, an organization that adds sculptures, banners and benches throughout the town center and assists in the restoration of the town’s decorative landmarks.

"We feel privileged to serve as the sole presenting sponsor of the Needham Grand Wine Tasting," said Jack W. McGeorge, President and CEO of Needham Bank.  "It is certain to be a night to remember, made even more special being held at the beautifully restored Powers Hall."
