It seems
like every culture has a tradition or holiday that gathers families for a meal.
Whether it's to celebrate or instill a custom, everything is better amongst
loved ones and with food. That’s why Villa Charities Foundation is launching
their Cena in Famiglia event
(translates to family dinner) to help raise funds to continue their promotion
of Italian heritage and everything that embodies the culture.
Villa
Charities was first established in 1971 to provide affordable and quality
long-term care to elderly Italian-Canadians. Villa Colombo, a long-term care
facilities steeped with Italian culture, was created and soon expanded into
four more facilities. As the charity grew, so did their mandate and in later
decades they’ve added a community centre and now strives to be the voice of the
Italian Canadian community.
Having
grown up with a number of Italian friends, the Sunday “suppers” are an
impressive and warming affair. On Sunday, August 25th, Villa
Charities will throw their own Sunday meal where guests will dine outdoors at
Sala Caboto Gardens. The event begins at 2pm with a cocktail reception complete
with food stations where you’ll get a group photo to commemorate the occasion.
Don’t
fill up at the stations as a 3-course meal follows where you’ll be sure to get
a taste of the Italian culture. If that weren’t enough, you’ll be entertained
with music during the whole affair. For the brave, it’s your chance to polka!
The event
ends by 5:30pm so there’s plenty of time to relax, nap, and digest all the food
before the weekend is over. So whether you go with one person or gather a full
table of eight, Cena in Famiglia will
leave you full and satisfied knowing you’ll be supporting Villa Charities
Foundation programs.
Thanks to the folks at Villa Charities Foundation, Gastro World is giving away a pair of tickets (valued at $200) to the event!
Entries
will be accepted until August 18, 2019 at 12:00 AM. Sometime the following day,
I will contact winners through email with further details. Accordingly, please
make sure you enter a valid email address in Rafflecopter contest site. Good
luck!
