OTHER INITIATIVES:

- Along with DFI, bring Professional grape growers and wine makers to Nevada, for education.

2. NEW! Outreach/PR Campaign (25% of our expenditures allocated for Outreach/PR). Outreach will accomplish several objectives, besides educating the public about our wine industry: attract new members (heart of all non-profits), brings more sponsors (bulk of our funds) and supports our goals to grow the Nevada wine and grape industry.
