The
Invitation:
Ciao amici,
Welcome home McDonalds to warm and
sunny Connecticut!!!! Friday is a
special Wine Night with a walk through the vineyards of Italy. The Mealeys, Pelletiers and Vortherms are
each donating 2 bottles of their
favorite wine from their stash of Italian Wines. We will blind taste them and rank our
favorites. (I will have extra in case
Mike gets thirsty) The Mealeys will
have one of Karen's favorite pasta dishes and garlic bread and the Pelletiers
volunteered for a dessert. Please let us
know how many will be attending and if you want to bring an appetizer or salad
to share. I have not heard back from our
new choir member Charlie Dew but I think he and his wife Dee Dee will be
attending also.
La vostra gestione familiare Mood,
Bob
