Wine and Auction Benefit for the North Alabama Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, Saturday November 15

The Global Studies Program is pleased to support the North Alabama Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, which has brought five to six distinguished scholars and archaeologists to UAH to share their research insights every year for the past decade.

We are pleased to announce AIA's upcoming Wine Tasting and Silent Auction benefit.
The benefit will be on November 15 at the Lowe House in historic Twickenham. The Lowe House is the elegant home of UAH president David Williams. We will sample fine wines from Spain, Argentina, and Chile with the guidance of sommelier Tami Herrington of Pinnacle Imports who will be talking about the history of these wines and their vineyards as well as describing the character of the individual wines. Archaeologist Dr. Tom Sever will give a brief talk on his current research on the Maya. We have a number of fine items in our auction. Enjoy the company of others interested in archaeology.

For tickets, please contact Lillian Joyce (joycel@uah.edu).
