Nurture. Flourish. Progress. THRIVE. Saturday, September 26, 2009 Portland Art Museum Kridel Grand Ballroom, 6-10 PM

TechStart is thrilled to continue our tradition of celebrating excellence in technology education with the 2009 Uncork-ED Wine Tasting and Charity Gala. Join us for a night of celebration, wine tasting, fine food and fun! We are proud to welcome local television news personality Steph Stricklen of KGW's "Live @ 7" as the evening master of ceremony.

We will kick off this year's event with a keynote by esteemed guest, Ron Pernick, co-founder and managing director of Clean Edge. Uncork-ED will feature Mediterranean fare, an exciting live auction, "Best of Live" raffle and wines from the Pacific Northwest and around the globe. Interact with students who are thriving today thanks to TechStart programs and see their projects first-hand!

Event Details

Location
Uncork-ED will be held in the Kridel Grand Ballroom located on the third floor of The Mark Building of the Portland Art Museum at 1119 SW Park Avenue, Portland, OR 97205.

Parking
There is plenty of metered parking available near the museum, but keep in mind that it is Saturday night downtown, so leave plenty of time to park. You may also choose to park in the City Center Parking lot at SW Main and Park Avenue for a fee.

Attire
While this event is generally semi-formal (suits for men and cocktail dresses for women), true to Portland tradition, we have seen a variety of dress styles.
