ITALIAN SCOTLAND IS THE WEBSITE OF THE COCAIS & THE COMITES

Grande festa della befana

To encourage the younger members and friends of the Italian community,

the CoCAIS is planning a Sunday afternoon Befana party

for children aged 8 and under. 

The event will be held at Scotland Street School Museum

on Sunday January 4 2009, 2-5pm. 

If you have a child or grandchild,nephew or neice who might like to come along,

please visit the 'events' page and print off an application form. 

The form should be filled in and forwarded (together with payment)

to Cav. Adriano De Marco, 58 Beardmore Way, Clydebank Industrial Estate,

Clydebank, Glasgow G81 4HT. 

Cost will be subsidised so the charge per child is just £5 which

includes a present and a calza ripiena (stocking filled with sweets). 

Accompanying adults can enjoy a glass of festive spumante

and a slice of panettone while the children eat, meet La Befana and enjoy

meeting new friends.

The whole event is in English but is a great opportunity for the wee ones to enjoy Italian customs.

To avoid disappointment, please book early as places will be allocated

on a first come, first serve basis.  

For more information contact Cav. Adriano De Marco at

ademarco@lineafabrications.co.uk 

It is also proposed to hold a Festa della Terza Eta’ for senior members

and friends of the Italian community later in 2009.

More details to come next month. 

The idea would be to offer an afternoon of top quality Italian food, Italian music and

good company early next year.
