Join us at the Enoteca Tuata from 18:00 to 20:00 with live music by Irene Robbins and John Serry. This event is made possible thanks to the efforts of our 10th anniversary committee and the generous contributions of numerous sponsors.

The GREEN DIGITAL PHOTO CONTEST is now underway. Submissions are being accepted via e-mail from February 26th to March 20th. Consult the IWF forum to read the RULES FOR ENTRY. All members are encouraged to participate in this fun event for the chance to win fantastic eco-prizes!
