BON NATALIE E FILICI ANNU NOVU FRIENDS OF ISOLA DELLE FEMMINE.
(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!)
2021 is heading out and 2022 is almost here. It looks like the dreaded Covid-19 virus and its variants may be in control. Many if not all our members have been vaccinated and have received their booster shots. That’s a good thing.
We have received the go ahead from the Colombo Club and our FOI Executive Board to have our long awaited “THAT’S ITALIAN” Dinner Show on Saturday March 19, 2022.
To date we have 150 people that have purchased tickets with 100% of those ticket holders holding on to their tickets. That is awesome because we have a great evening of wonderful food, entertainment, raffle prizes, and a couple of surprises.
Our menu will be as follows; Colombo Club antipasto, meat ravioli, Colombo Club famous Italian salad, Italian Pot Roast, vegetables, vino on the table, coffee and a wonderful dessert. Registration door will be open at 4:30 and the no host bar will be open for you.
As you may or may not know we did have a drawing on our fund raiser Mexico Vacation at Costa Sur Resort and Spa in Puerto Vallarta including airfare. Thanks to the owner and member of FOI Ken Molinaro. I understand Ken will again offer a fabulous vacation for two to his world class Mexico resort. More details to follow.
And the 2021 Puerto Vallarta trip winner was Gabe Palomino-ticket sold by Vincenzo Ferrante. Congratulations!
So please plan to attend this great and long-awaited event and bring guests. See attached flyer for more details.
If the county of Alameda and the Colombo Club doesn’t change their protocol regarding the virus we WILL HAVE THIS CULTURAL SICILIAN-ITALIAN-AMERICAN EVENT.
We will see you all there. DON’T MISS IT!
