Congratulations Karen Vandenberg, the lucky winner of the Trip for Two to Italy. She was the holder of winning ticket #1383. When we called Karen to tell her the good news, we had to spend some time convincing her that this was for real.

Congratulations also to Teresa Spinelli on the 60th anniversary of The Italian Centre, and thank you for sponsoring the prize.

Thank you as well to everyone who bought a ticket for the raffle, for helping support the paper. Stay tuned for information about our next raffle.

The draw took place at 6 p.m. on August 25th at The Italian Centre during Festa Italiana. We will have coverage of Festa Italiana in the next issue of the paper.
