Welcome to NPS Auction 2018!
We are excited to launch our first auction newsletter of the year with all the information you need to have a grape time at A Night at the Vineyard! Time to mark your calendars because we have some smashing dates coming up! Book your sitter now for Saturday, March 10 at District Winery for our big night out.
Our chief winemaker this year is Tom Seidenstein - special thanks to Tom for all his hard work making our auction a fun evening! If you have ideas for Tom, drop him a note!

We have heard through the grapevine that some of you have access to fun stuff that we would love to share with your fellow parents! Let us know if you can help!
Some of the goodies we are looking for:
- A stay at your beautiful vacation home — always an auction favorite!
- Game tickets and VIP experiences for the Caps, Wizards, Nats, and Redskins!
- In keeping with our theme, we are hoping to offer an outing to the Inn at Little Washington, if you'd like to help fund that, please let Mary or Tom know!
- And if you missed our kick-off party, we would still love a bottle of your favorite wine. You can email Mary and leave it at the front desk.
