PARSIPPANY — Sons of Italy 2561 held a Beefsteak Dinner on Friday, November 6. The event was held at Bloomingdale Fire House and included Beefsteak, roasted potatoes, salad, pasta, assorted desserts, coffee and tea. The room was packed with members of the Sons of Italy and guests.
After the Beefsteak dinner, Uncle Floyd performed his humerous stand-up comedy routine.
“Our first annual beefsteak dinner was a huge success, thanks to the many volunteers, members and attendees who helped make this event successful. We will continue this event every year and look forward to raising more funds to help out the organizations we support,” said President Joe Jannarone.
The Sons of Italy is a non-profit group that raises funds and donates 100% of its funds to charities. Some of the charities Sons of Italy donates to are Arthritis Foundation, Parsippany Food Pantry, The Valerie Fund and many other organizations. In addition, the Sons of Italy purchases and donates food and cooks for many other organizations, such as the Par-Troy Wrestling Club and more recently the Parsippany-Troy Hills Volunteer Fire Department Spaghetti and Meatball Fundraiser.
Last holiday season, they donated twelve fully cooked turkey dinners to needed local families. They also gave other families $750.00 in Shop Rite Gift Cards.
With the hard work of the members through fund raising efforts they also gave out $2,000 in WalMart gift cards to local charities in time for the Holiday Season.
