Dear Katrina, Giulia & Andrea,

On behalf of the Parents Committee of Smith Street Children’s Centre, I would like to thank Family Italia for your generosity in support of our 2014 Trivia Night. Your gift voucher prize donation for pasta making classes and the children's playgroup was used as part of our Silent Auction which attracted a lot of attention.

The Trivia Night was a great success and thanks to the support of Family Italia and our wonderful local community we have raised over $3,000 which will go directly toward purchasing updated equipment to improve the educational experience of the children at our centre.

Thank you again for your generous donation.

Oh website is finally back up and running!! http://ow.ly/vgjNJ

Announcement - for those of you that do not know, two of our co-founders, Giulia & Andrea, have decided to head home. They will be leaving to return to Italy in a few weeks. We have had a whirlwind of a year, setting up Family Italia. It has been an absolute pleasure having them here and they have made an unforgettable contribution to Family Italia. Thank you Giulia & Andrea xoxox

We have also had another wonderful team member Giulia Fabris who has decided to move on. Giulia's time with us has been short but very sweet, she bought a bit of s***k and a fun personality to the team. Good luck with your future travels Giulia, and thank you for your time with us # # #

This leaves Katrina, Monica, Margherita & Roberta for Team Family Italia. Monica & Margherita will continue to run our Sydney activities, and Margherita will also travel down to Wollongong to cover our activities down here with Roberta.

Grazie mille a tutti :) Giulia Di Blasio Andrea Sassi Giulia Fabris Monica Benvenuti Margherita Marcato
