Joe Canal’s Discount Liquor Outlet arranged a top-of-the-line selection of wines, spirits, and beers from 38 distributors, and our members were more than happy to pour a generous sample of the products.

Hanover Manor did a fantastic job providing an ample and tasteful hot and cold buffet, cutting stations walk, around appetizers, and a dessert/coffee station to accompany the excellent drinks.

Congratulations on a very successful event arranged by Kiwanis Greater Parsippany Committee Chairman Michael Mulhaul with President Nicolas Limanov, and Sons of Italy Lodge 2561 President Robert Adamo, and of course, to those members from both organizations without whom these worthwhile events would not be possible.
