MONROE, LA – The 16th Annual Wine Over Water hosted by the University of Louisiana Monroe Alumni Association
is set for 7:00-10:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 13. Established as a signature event
at ULM, Wine Over Water will be on the ULM bridge over tranquil Bayou Desiard on Northeast
Drive.
“Wine Over Water is a one-of-a-kind experience that you cannot miss,” said ULM Director
of Alumni Affairs Sarah Siereveld. “While the ambience is unique, knowing that your
attendance is contributing to scholarships and thus changing someone's life is incredibly
humbling. One of the easiest ways to get involved is to attend an event, and I hope
to see you there,” she added.
Tickets are $60, and the evening’s attire is dressy casual. Tickets are available
online at ulm.edu/wine, by calling (318) 342-5420, or at the Laird Weems Center located at 4400 Bon Aire
Drive. Office hours are 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and 7:30-11:30 a.m. Friday.
