Ziti Dinner Info

 

We still are looking for Raffle Prizes … if you can solicit donations from anyone, or give a donation from your own company, any donation would be appreciated!

 

And a reminder about the Baked Goods … everyone is expected to bring some baked goods when you arrive at the Diplomat Party House on Ziti Day … the baked goods need to be commercially baked goods, not home-made. 

 

Bill Gormont will be on vacation for the next 2 weeks.  Please give any ad $ to Mike Sofia.

 

Dining room workers are asked to wear dark pants and white shirts.

 

Parking is available in the back of the building.  Try to park there if you can and use the rear/kitchen entrance.  This will leave more available parking out front.
