Carnevale 2011 – March 6, 2011

An event such as Carnevale is only made possible with the support and generosity of many. It is with deep gratitude that we extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for making the 6th annual Festa di Carnevale a wonderful success!

Our special thanks to Piazza Italia, Chris Germano Photography, Stacatto Gelato, Casa Bruno LLC, Zancanella Importing and Parties by Inez for your considerable support at this year’s event. We truly value your partnership and encourage our guests and supporters to patronize your outstanding businesses!

We also thank all of our generous sponsors, auction contributors, and guests who support Scuola Italiana di Portland at Carnevale and throughout the year. Your help and encouragement make it possible for us to share the Italian culture and language with more and more people every year.

And last but certainly not least, thank you very much to our small but MIGHTY group of volunteers. From picking up donations to helping with kid’s crafts to pouring the wine, you did it all! You are simply amazing and thank you hardly seems enough!

Sinceramente,
Grazia Solazzi, Board President
