Buon Giorno Friends of Isola delle Femmine,
As you know the Covid-19 Delta variant has advanced throughout the nation and many venues have closed and events have been postponed.
For that reason and to prevent any of our guests from being at risk, our “That’s Italian” Dinner Show event scheduled for October 2nd of this year, to be held at the Colombo Club in Oakland will again be POSTP0NED. We are looking at having the event in the first quarter of next year.
This decision has been a long and difficult one for the Board of FOI to make. We were so excited and ready to have a wonderful time together, our menu was set and ordered, the entertainers have been rehearsing a fantastic show which included a few great surprises. We have SOLD over 125 tickets with paid attendees signed up and ready and anxious to attend.
This lasts surge was not anticipated but given the present rates your Executive Board as well as the Colombo Club has decided to postpone the event until the virus is better controlled and everyone will feel safe to attend and celebrate our cultural heritage together.
We hope you will remain committed to our event as an attendee until we will confirm the new date. All previously purchased tickets will be honored at “That’s Italian” Dinner Show event in 2022.
FOI is in communication with the Mayor of Isola delle Femmine. He and his entourage may join us, providing international travel will open up again.
Important information: We will hold the drawing for our fabulous Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa Vacation on October 2. It will be a live streaming event on Facebook and YouTube. In addition to the drawing for the Mexico trip, the live streaming event with the FOI Board that will include Cooking, Entertainment and lots more FOI information. More details to follow on our website.
Thank you for your understanding and your support. Please go to our website; www.friendsofisola.org for updated information.
