Pasta and Prizes
Pasta and Prizes was a huge success!
Everyone dined on penne pasta with a rich meat sauce or a vegetarian tomato sauce, organic green salad with homemade croutons, gourmet garlic bread, and cream puffs and brownies for dessert. In addition to the delicious food, door prizes were randomly drawn every half hour and the entire room played bingo. A separate opportunity drawing was held for a gigantic outdoor fireplace/fire pit which was won by Jo Cook. Thank you for your support of Adult Education! |
