“TORTEI DI PATATE” FUNDRAISER” February 10, 2017

On February 10, 2017, a very successful fundraiser was held at our Club to benefit Trentino firefighters supporting earthquake victims in Italy. In spite of the bad weather, many sturdy Trentini were in attendance to support this worthwhile event. Adriano Marchetti, together with the entire Marchetti family and many volunteers, organized an enjoyable evening that included the now well-known and popular meal
of “tortei di patate,” speck, cheese and beans. In addition, there was a raffle for many great prizes, including some handcrafted cutting boards. Great food and great fun, all for a good cause. Many heartfelt thanks to Adriano and everyone in the Marchetti family for their enthusiastic hard work and generous donation of prizes and ingredients, and to the numerous volunteers who prepared, organized, served and
cleaned up, especially Giovanna and Sandro Cologna for their work in the kitchen, and Unico Foods for the donation of the cooking oils and their 100% Canadian ketchup. A note of appreciation also to our Trentino Club of Toronto and the Women’s Group for their donation. Adriano and Lucia Larentis Flaim, the Canadian Consultore for P.A.T., will ensure that the total of the fundraising effort will be sent to the Federation of Volunteer Firefighters in Trento.
