Win For Life

Posted 10-02-2009 at 09:36 PM by burntbythetuscansun (Burnt by the Tuscan Sun, The True Story of Living in Italy)

The Lottomatica people just announced this terrific new lottery game, with three winners on the first day alone garnering 4000 euro/month for 20 years (let's just say, we hope the lives of the Win For Life winners don't come to an abrupt end in around that time -- not that that wouldn't make a good thriller plot).

The sixth annual Valle San Giovanni luncheon will take place at noon on Saturday 3 October 2009 at DiPaolo’s Italian Ristorante in Penns Grove, NJ. As always all “Vallaroli” (people from Valle San Giovanni), guests and friends are welcome. Reservations (by responding to this email or contacting Mike Di Paolo directly) are appreciated but not mandatory. The price remains just $20 at the door for the best Italian meal and nicest people to be found this side of Italia. Buon appetito!
