High Times for Uruguayan Wines…
I don’t know if you are a wine connoisseur or teetotaler, but if you have been known to partake of the fruit of the vine, I would encourage you to give this New York Times article a read. It may have you shooting off to the wine store for a bottle, and who knows, maybe calling Matt and Toni to arrange a wine tour in Uruguay.
We’ll leave the light on for you…

AFTER several wrong turns through desolate dirt roads, I finally saw Carlos Pizzorno waving at me from the entrance of his vineyard. He is an affable man with wind-worn skin and rough hands, the result of tending personally to the vines. While touring the 50-acre estate, we stopped before two hand-cranked corking machines from the early 1900s, a quaint example of Mr. Pizzorno’s painstaking craftsmanship. Inside the cellar, his 2004 blend of tannat, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot had been aging in bottle for three years. “It will be released when the time is right,” he said. “These wines have my family name and I can’t let it down.”
Se busca VOLUNTARIOS para Equipo de Coordinación
Tal vez el acto más primordial de servicio es permitir que otros tengan la oportunidad de servir. Parker Palmer, activista estadounidense, definió el liderazgo como “crear espacios en donde la abundancia human pueda emergir.”
La tarea de coordinación es la tarea de crear esos espacios. En 2009, STC Uruguay procura lanzar iniciativas de voluntariado para ayudar a fomentar una cultura de voluntariado. Necesitamos personas que pueden ayudar a formar los proyectos, hablar con voluntarios, trabajar con patrocinadores, y coordinar eventos, y facilitar comunicación para que los demás puedan encontrar su lugar para servir.
¿Te interesa? Mandanos tu información a stc@servethecity.org.uy, y estaremos en contacto.
Matt,
Coordinador General, STC Uruguay
