Saturday, August 4: Italian Dinner

Come to the second (almost-annual) Italian dinner on August 4 in the Thomas House at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 745 Waverley, Palo Alto. 
 
Everyone is invited, and you won’t want to miss the gourmet menu of antipasti, spaghetti with homemade Italian sausage Bolognese sauce or zesty vegetarian marinara, and a polenta (gluten-free) option, accompanied by freshly tossed salad, bread and dessert of spumoni and biscotti.

Special feature: handicapped tables: The main venue for the dinner is the Basement Hall in the Thomas House, but the first floor is handicapped accessible, and a special feature of this event will be individualized service to handicapped persons and their parties in various rooms on the first floor. Since space is limited in the first floor rooms, it will be necessary that handicapped tables be reserved in advance.

Tickets and time: Tickets for the dinner are $15 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Tickets go on sale on July 21 and will be available after Masses through July 29 and at the parish office. A wine and beer cash bar is a tradition at such parish events, and this one is no exception. The bar will be open from 5:00—8:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 4; dinner will be served from 5:30—7:00 p.m.
