COOKS NEEDED FOR
PRE-DANTE PASTA DINNER
IN NOVEMBER!
|
Our traditional community meal before the English meetings is a great opportunity for connecting with friends and sharing stories. Each of these meals is prepared by a volunteer (or team of volunteers), who decide the menu, shop for the food, prepare the meal and get reimbursed. Guidelines are available to make this easy and fun for new people, and there are always folks on hand to help on the evening you cook!
|

|
|
What could be more fun than trying out your favorite pasta recipe on a deeply appreciative roomful of Italians/Italophiles? Say yes to this idea, and sign up to cook. Help make some memories and create the fun!
|
November 11 is still open!
