Under a tent on the Green at the White Hart in Salisbury, students, parents, teachers and community members gathered last Friday for the sixth annual Wine Dinner and Auction. Money was raised to benefit the HVRHS International Travel Club’s 2025 trips to Italy/Germany and to Thailand. While students waited tables and sold tickets for door prizes, about 130 guests dined on roasted duck and various wines and bid on auction items donated by local businesses, artisans and organizations. Actor Sam Waterston spoke in support of the program, applauding the students for serving the meal and calling them the stars of the show. While final tallies are still being totaled, an estimated $50,000 was raised by the end of the night.

“This moment was the film in a nutshell,” said Claire Jeffreys, the film’s producer and director, and Garland’s wife of 40 years. “Nobody knows the answer,” she continued. “So, you’re cool enough to be a Jeopardy question, but you’re still obscure enough that not one of the contestants even had a glimmer of the answer.”
