The Hardware Store Restaurant and Vashon Island Rowing Club are teaming up again for a “repechage” Guest Bartender Night on Thursday March 5th from 6 pm – 9pm. VIRC is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary with this FUNdraiser, that will include a signature cocktail and mocktail, silent auction in the gallery space and a raffle for a private rowing lesson with Coach Richard Parr and a magnum of Andrew Will Two Blondes Vineyard red wine. Donations will be matched 2:1! All proceeds will go toward boathouse preservation.
