Wine in Winter
Benefiting the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund…help and hope for families with seriously ill children
The event was held on February, 4, 2011 at Normandy Farms, Blue Bell, PA. Café Excellence was privileged to take part in this special event. We received this letter from Kelly Anne's Mom, Peggy, and wanted to share it with you.
Thank you so much for your participation in our Fourth Annual “Wine in Winter” spectacular. The “spectacular” comes from the enthusiasm and generosity of more than 45 supportive business partners – the great restaurants, caterers, wineries, beer and beverage distributors who have generously agreed to provide a memorable experience in find dining. We are grateful to all our donors and to Normandy Farms for hosting this major fundraiser for us again this year.
We can’t loose sight of the real reason we are here. Since the start of our fiscal year in July, we have responded to critical requests for help from more than 750 families caring for children with all sorts of diseases, expenses and related out-of-pocket expenses create havoc for families’ budgets. Job loss and decreased incomes are major side-effects when families are caring for one or more seriously ill children.
Our thanks for your encouragement, enthusiasm and participation could not be better expressed than in the recent words on one grateful mom: “God bless this organization and everyone who helps to keep it going, because in this world of sickness and dealing with it mentally, physically and financially, it can be very trying and anyone who helps to ease that difficulty should consider themselves an angel on earth.”
Gratefully,
Peggy Dolan

Do your flavor coffees contain sucrose or sucralose?
I recently received this question:
Hi, I can’t seem to find an ingredient listing for what is in your flavored coffees. Specifically the hazelnut – which I love and drink several times a day. I am looking to find out if any of your flavored coffees contain sucrose or sucralose in the flavoring. I would hate to have to give up my morning cup of excellence!
Café Excellence flavors do not contain Sucralose (artificial sweetener).
Some flavors contain Sucrose (table sugar), but the amount in the flavors are negligible (not of nutritional value). The Hazelnut flavor in particular has no Sucralose, Sucrose or any type of sweetener.
