Oneida County Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Foundation (OCSLEF) is Maciol's program to “Put a Face to the Badge” of public safety officers, "engaging the communities we serve in meaningful ways. Through educational programming, community partnerships, and opportunities for open communication," the foundation works to uphold the integrity of local law enforcement and create safer communities in the Mohawk Valley.
Maciol told WIBX that the program is especially important today with so much attention on how police interact with the community. Money raised allows law enforcement to engage and form relationships with the public, and specifically with school age children and teens.
Here are the items up for auction, along with their starting bids at OSCLEF.com.

A note from our somolier: "Perfect in its own right, and probably my favorite of the three Verite wines I tasted, the absolutely, drop-dead bouquet of the 2005 Le Désir is the most stunningly complex and fragrant display of a blend of Bordeaux varietals (50% Cabernet Franc, 39% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Malbec) that I have found in my horizontal tastings of 2005. This wine is just remarkable, and anyone lucky enough to own any of these wines is in for untold joy over the next 25-20+ years." Add this to your cellar today, you'll thank yourself tomorrow!
