Hearst Wine Party | 4.2.22

The wine parties are the most fun way we collect donations for the auction. Open to all Hearst parents, we encourage you to join us for a night out (or two!) without kids. We just ask you to bring two bottles of wine — one for the auction and one for the party! Wine that is collected at the party will be bundled and put on the auction block in May.

Notes about wine party COVID safety:

• Events will be held outdoors.
• Events will be capped at a number appropriate for the physical space available. Members of the community are asked to sign up for only one wine party (at least at first) to facilitate everyone’s ability to attend one.
• Only fully vaccinated individuals (as defined by the CDC at the time) are permitted to attend the wine party.  
• Individuals should not attend if any member of their household is experiencing COVID-like symptoms.  
• The Public Health Subcommittee continues to monitor the DC Health reported COVID-19 cases in Washington, DC and will work with hosts to evaluate whether events should be canceled or postponed based on transmission levels during the week prior to the event. If cases are at a high transmission level (as defined by the CDC) one week before the event (>= 100 cases/100,000 in the previous 7 days), we expect that the event will be cancelled unless you prefer to postpone/reschedule it. If cases are at a substantial transmission level (50-100 cases/100,000) attendees will be asked to wear masks except when eating or drinking. 
• Attendees should expect to not go inside the host’s house; if they need to briefly, for example to use the restroom, they should wear a high filtration mask (N95, KN95, or KF94). Hosts also have the option to fully deny access to their house during the event.
