Today, Wednesday 13th Oct, I attended the Festa Dell'Anziano at the Fogolar Furlan in Felixstow. This event for the Italian community's elderly was put on by the Co-ordinating Italian Committee (CIC Inc.)
This was an opportunity for me to meet some of the older people in our community, and to practice my italian!
A good number of people were recognised with a ceremony and gift for their volunteering contributions to the Italian community.
My running mate in this election, Teresa Dall'Acqua Leonardi, was present as a special guest, in recognition for all the work she does, in particular for the elderly. Local State and Federal MPs were also in attendence.
I enjoyed very much the opportunity to be at this event, sharing some delicious food and having my eyes and ears opened to the richness of our area's Italian heritage!
molto bene!
