CIBPA BOARD OF DIRECTORS
CLIMBING ANOTHER MOUNTAIN TOP! (with Nonno Carlo watching over!!) 
👍 
🇨🇦
🇮🇹 On May 24 I was appointed to the Board of Directors of the CIBPA of Toronto by the association's Ladies' Auxiliary. To say I'm honoured is a COMPLETE UNDERSTATEMENT.. LOL. Not only am I proud to represent the Auxiliary of which I've been a member for 5 years, but I'm also humbled to be an official board member of such an esteemed and enduring organization which has worked tirelessly for the last 65 years to assist and mentor Italian Canadian professionals while strengthening the image of the Italian community across our nation. And taking into consideration the extraordinary contributions made by Italian Canadians, there's no question the C.I.B.P. A has done an outstanding job!! This photo taken with Ladies' Auxiliary founder, Jackie Rosati at the 63rd annual President's Ball may have been a foreshadow of things to come 
😉 Thank you Jackie, Cettina Consales Anna Scavuzzo and Marisa De Luca... I hope to serve you, the entire C.I.B.P.A and our communuty well. Congratulations to all the newly-elected board members.. I look forward to working with you all !

CIBPA 'HIGH TEA' AT THE OLD MILL
Always great to see these outstanding ladies, especially when it involves the age-old tradition of 'high tea' at the breathtaking and historic, Old Mill Toronto !!! 
Held by the C.I.B.P.A Ladies' Auxiliary, this year marks a milestone as the organization celebrates 65 years of community service. Founded by 93 year-old Jackie Rosati (sitting, centre) in order to assist post-WWII Italians migrating to Toronto, today the auxiliary prides itself on raising funds for various charities and community groups. Jackie, who is one of my heroes, including these exceptional ladies have taught me the importance of giving back...with the understanding that no one individual can be left behind. Now entering my fifth year I am incredibly proud to be a member of this organization.

McHAPPY DAY FOR RONALD McDONALD HOUSE
SUPPORTING RONALD McDONALD HOUSE! 
🍟
🍔 What an incredible McHappy Day spent at Hwy 7 & 27. This is my fifth year and couldn't imagine not being here on this day. One dollar from every Big Mac, Happy Meal and McCafe beverage went to Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto which assists families and children dealing with medical adversities . Families living outside of the GTA are not only given accommodations while their kids are cared by at nearby hospitals, but they're also given emotional support and counselling by trained professionals. Thank goodness for this incredible charity!! Big props to McDonald's franchisee, Larry Garber, including Donna, Gwen and the entire staff for showing myself, Tony Monaco all the other Z103.5 jocks and our City of Vaughan councillors the ropes!! It's not as easy at it looks!!!
