Simply come in on Tuesdays, show your I.D., and receive all special benefits, just for teachers. The Bookstore sells a wide selection of beautiful and gently used books. It is staffed by friendly volunteers who enjoy reading and are happy to tell you about their current favorites. Please drop by, buy a book or two, and all the proceeds go back to benefit our community and literacy. The 20th Wine Soiree was a big success! The 20th Wine Soiree and Benefit Auction was held on Sunday, April 21, 2013 at the Diamond Bar Center. About 400 guests had fun "Western Style" while tasting fine wines and delicious food from our many food partners. The silent auction was a big hit as everyone got a chance to bid for beautiful baskets of books, jewelry, tickets to special events, and collectibles. The raffle was full of fun surprises for everyone who purchase a ticket or two from Miss Diamond Bar and her Court. The most exciting event, of course, was the live auction. One lucky winner and his guest will be enjoying the Angels from their seats behind home plate! Another lucky winner will be enjoying a wine tasting trip in Napa Valley. Overheard was: "It was the best Soiree ever!" And all the proceeds will go to benefit the Diamond Bar Library. Last Update: Apr. 26, 2013
