Polenta Gala August 31, 2013 For VON


Polenta Gala hosted by Fogolar Furlan to support local VON

 
The Fogolar Furlan Club is hosting a Polenta Gala on Saturday, August 31, 2013 to support The Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) Windsor-Essex. The gala will feature wine tasting sponsored by Pelee Island Winery and a white glove seven course dinner. The evening’s live entertainment will be by Big Louie & The Band. Tickets to the Polenta Gala are $70, with a partial tax receipt available from VON. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Fogolar Main Office at 519-966-2230.

 
Proceeds from this event will directly support the many programs and services offered by VON. The VON’s community support programs and services depend on fundraised dollars to operate.  Programs like Meals on Wheels, Home Help, Supportive Housing, and prenatal education would cease to exist without the generosity of the local community.


“VON supports the local community through programs and services that enable individuals to be in control of their health. We keep seniors safe and cared for in their homes; expectant parents educated and informed on the pending birth of their first born. We are so grateful to the Fogolar for recognizing the tremendous work we do in the community,” Jon Jewell, Manager of Business Development & Community Relations, VON Erie St. Clair.

 
The Fogolar Furlan Windsor was established in 1961 and celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2011. The culmination of our year-long celebration was Polentafest where we successfully set a new Guinness World Record™ for making the largest Polenta - 6150 lbs of it!

 
VON Canada is a national health organization and registered charity offering a wide range of community health care solutions that meet the needs of Canadians from coast to coast.  We are dedicated to being a leader in the delivery of innovative comprehensive health and social services and to influencing the development of health and social policy in Canada.
