SEASON TICKET HOLDER SPOTLIGHT
Brad and Anne Rubin of Ruby Wines (Avon, MA)


Brad and Anne's son, 9-year-old Cam, drew a picture of Bruins center David Krejci in school and decided to make the picture into stickers for thank you notes. After the Rubins visited Vignamaggio winery in Italy this past summer, Cam sent them one of his Krejci thank you notes.

What happened next? Vignamaggio contacted the Rubins and got permission to use Cam's Krejci picture on a label of one of their wines!
