Miriam suggested hanging Italian flags all around Sarasota during the stay of the delegation. Tom stated that that would be a pricey project but suggested that we hang flags just on the bridge or by entrances and exits from Sarasota.
We have not received the package of details from the delegation yet however we have many ideas for events and all committees will start to gather together to set the foundation for them.
A new idea was contact Whole Foods regarding the delegation and local dishes we could make there with the cooks they will be bringing.
Mirco informed us that we have an available budget of $4800.00.
Another idea brought to the table was a fundraiser during the Asolo event.
Terry has offered to house some of the guests of the delegation. Thank you, Terry!
Mike has contacted BMW and requested 3-5 loaner cars; he should get an answer this week.
Miriam will contact the Sarasota School Board regarding the artwork from students in Treviso and set up a possible event to show them.
