MINGLE WITH F’AMELIA

November 27, 2019 By Pstreet News

F’Amelia, Cabbagetown’s cozy and sophisticated Italian eatery, located at 12 Amelia Street, is hosting their second annual MINGLE WITH F’AMELIA Fundraiser on Monday January 20, 2020.

The Fundraiser is to benefit the neighbourhood’s only ‘École’ Winchester Public School.

It is a rambunctious evening that provides an opportunity for the community to come together in support of their local French Immersion elementary school. Come enjoy some delicious pizza and aromatic wines. Todd Vestby and Tanya Grant will generously donate the proceeds from the ticket sales to the school to help fund its art, music, sports and science programs.

Tickets can be purchased by RSVPing to Todd or Tanya at info@famelia.com.
