Vineyards & Violins ~ Willamalane Adult Activity Center

Willamalane Adult Activity Center’s annual Vineyards & Violins event is a large silent auction, with all proceeds directed to supporting the programs and services offered at the center.  The auction features over 400 items, a buffet of hors d’oeuvres and desserts, Northwest wines, and violin music by members of the Eugene Symphony. 

Each year, over 300 people attend and more than 65 volunteers help make the event a success.

The Willamalane Adult Activity Center provides a wide range of programs and services to adults 50 years and older in the Eugene-Springfield community.  The center offers over 600 classes, trips, and lectures each year.  In addition, the Adult Activity Center provides van transportation to the center for frail seniors, allowed them to attend center programs and connecting them with community agencies providing a wide range of social services.  Approximately 350 people utilize our programs and services daily.  Auction proceeds are used to keep programs affordable so that even those with limited resources can stay active and engaged in the community.

Vineyards & Violins is sponsored in part by KMTR, Umpqua Bank, Springfield Utility Board, Marquis Care of Springfield, Lithia Toyota of Springfield, Health Net of Oregon, QSL, Kingsford Manufacturing, and Thorp Purdy Jewett Urness & Wilkinson, celebrating 70 years of service.
