THANK YOU!
It is
with a great deal of pride that we at Festa Italiana,
now in our 24th year, point out that what we celebrate
boils down to certain fundamentals: God, family, community
and a love of our country mixed with nostalgia for "the
old country" that was home to our ancestors. We
also have the good fortune to share a cultural heritage
that emphasizes "family" gathered at home
sharing good food together.
With
that in mind, once again, we'd like to thank our volunteers.
Festa Italiana is a completely volunteer - driven, 501(c)
(not-for-profit) organization and a festival of this
magnitude can only be produced by community support
and financial generosity. Your contribution is a vital
building block of Festa Italiana Seattle, so THANK YOU
for your donations, your time and your enthusiasm!
Next Volunteers
Meeting coming up:
September 13, 2011 at 7 PM.

Want to explore your Italian
ancestry? Love to play Bocce?
 Do
you wish to be up close and personal with famous chefs?
Festa Italiana has just the opportunity for you!
Each year, during the last week
of September, our wonderful Festa is celebrated and
enjoyed by thousands of people like yourself.
Not surprisingly, hundreds of volunteers
work for months to bring this celebration together.
Planning this event begins in early in the Spring with
dedicated volunteers and event chairs. Our general planning
meetings are open to all interested and are entertaining
by themselves. Come meet great people with a passion
for "All Things Italian"...share a glass of
wine and ideas.
Plenty of volunteers are needed
in many areas: Have a spare hour? Come cook Italian
sausages, help clean tables, work in the souvenir booth
or welcome guests to Foto Italiana.
Have lots of spare hours? We can find an activity for
you to chair!
Our next general planning meeting
will be in the spring of 2012. Everyone is invited.
These meetings are held at in the school hall at Our
Lady of Mt. Virgin Church, 2800 S. Massachusetts St.,
Seattle, WA 98144. Need more information? Please email
us at info@FestaSeattle.com
or call or office at (206) 282-0627
