Breakfast with Santa Dec 3 2017

Our annual children’s celebration with Santa was as delightful as ever, with 94 children enjoying a breakfast of pancakes and treats, plus many other delights, including captivating entertainment provided by a magician, “Superman” and “The Joker,” arts and crafts, and, of course, presents delivered by Santa Claus himself. The hall at Casa Ricca was filled with the happy sounds of all the children, parents and grandparents having a wonderful time and great Christmas music provided by a DJ. And judging by the expressions on the childrens’ faces, it was indeed a great party. At the same time, The Women’s Group annual Bake Sale by the entrance was a great opportunity to pick up some fabulous homebaked desserts. A special thanks to our great coordinator, Lorena Danelon, for a fine job, and of course, we are also grateful to the many hardworking and enthusiastic volunteers, including Dan Bertolini, Joe Tanel and Natalia Prevedel in the kitchen busily preparing the pancakes, all those who helped in the preparation, set-up, serving and cleaning, including our awesome youth group, headed by Joseph Tanel and Erik Paternoster, which included 3 new young additions – Alessia Fedrigoni, Sophia Mancuso and Emily Franch.
