Optional Events

Women's Networking Event: Spring Blossom Painting Class

April 14, 7:00-8:30 P.M. EST

This relaxing session will introduce you to the beautiful world of watercolor. During this workshop, the host will guide everyone to create a unique cherry tree blossom painting and a poppy blossom painting. You do not need to be an artist or know how to paint to create these gorgeous pieces; you will be using a set of proven and easy techniques. The fee for this event is $25 per person, which includes instructions and supplies mailed to you in advance. Register by April 1 to join this event.

Murder Mystery Night: Murder in La La Land

April 15, 7:00-9:00 P.M. EST

PICTURE IT! The year: 1951. The Place: La La Land. Here, the pervasiveness of the motion picture industry is the only thing that matters to anybody who's somebody. You’re a company member at Summit Pictures, one of La La's major film studios, but after clocking out on this day, no one is going home! One of your very own, a talented screenwriter, made a big splash, name in lights and all that jazz — until last night's disaster began to rock an already fickle, fragile and feeble foundation. Come meet the iconic characters you think you know while getting an insider's peek behind the facade. Become a key player as you experience a tragically hilarious story probing the highs, the lows, and the in-betweens of SHOWBIZ! This event is free, but space is limited.

Virtual Cheese-Tasting with Truckle Cheesemongers

April 15, 7:00-8:30 P.M. EST

Back by popular demand, ABI’s favorite cheesemonger, Maggie from Truckle Cheesemongers in Richmond, Va., will make you a cheese connoisseur during this interactive event! The presentation starts with cheese basics, then shows you how to taste and buy. Add in the essentials of wine-and-cheeseboard pairings, and this is sure to be a fun evening with colleagues. The fee for this event is $20 per person, which includes your cheese box mailed to you in advance. Register by April 5 to join this event.

Anthony H.N. Schnelling Endowment Fund Virtual Wine-Tasting

April 21, 7:00-9:00 P.M. EST

Please join the Anthony H.N. Schnelling Endowment Fund and Spirit of Wine, a boutique wine club, for a virtual wine-tasting event. Spirit of Wine brings people together from all over the world to share in a collective love and passion for wine and everything that it represents. We share our finds with enthusiasts across the U.S. — exclusive, small-production, bespoke wines that are not generally available through the normal distribution system. The fee for this exclusive event is $250 per person, which includes the wines shipped to you in advance. Register by April 8 to join this event.
