This is a post looong overdue...back in february we hosted a "Sweet Valentine Giveaway" for a complimentary Candy Bar, we announced our winner on Monday, March 2, 2009!
The winner happened to be the Vice-President of Dante Alighieri Society in Jersey City, NJ (Marianne Costello). The Dante board members host an annual Spring Luncheon and this year's luncheon was special--Dante celebrated their 100th year anniversary on Saturday, April 18th, 2009 at Casino in the Park in Jersey City. Being this my 2nd year somewhat involved with the Dante Society, I was excited to created the Ol' Time Favorites Sweet Table for its members.
The Candy Bar was a perfect "thank you treat" for everyone that assisted the luncheon.
Here a picture of the programs I made for the Luncheon.
About Dante:
The Dante Alighieri Society was formed in Italy in July 1889, named after Dante Alighieri
(1265-1321), Italian Florentine poet and the author of The Divine Comedy, who is considered the father of the Italian language--The sole purpose of the Dante Alighieri Society is to 'promote the study of the Italian language and culture throughout the world...a purpose independent of political ideologies, national or ethnic origins or religious beliefs, and that the Society is the free association of people - not just Italians - but all people everywhere who are united by their love for the Italian languages and culture and the spirit of universal humanism that these represent.
The Dante Alighieri Society of Jersey City, exists to aid the Italian-American community by diffusing the Italian language, literature, culture, and traditions.
