Perugia celebrates Carnevale safely at home
Our friends in Perugia explained that this year was naturally more subdued for Carnevale in February. Usually celebrated with parties and parades including masks and music, 2021 was a quieter event at home. But not without traditional sweets such as struffoli and frappe! Take a look at some of the photos they sent of the delicious desserts and table settings our Italian members created.
Lots of Activities on our Events page!
Even during these uncertain times, the Seattle-Perugia Sister City Association is working hard to provide fun Italian content and activities during lockdown.

Annual Members Picnic and Meeting

August is here, which means our annual picnic and membership meeting is just around the corner. Once again, we'll gather in Ravensdale, Washington, at the historic Borracchini farm. Only 45 minutes from Seattle, this lovely corner of King County feels like a world away.
Our host and long-time SPSCA member, Dan Borracchini, always makes a fantastic pasta dish. Board members will be busy grilling Italian sausages, as well.
Everything else is potluck. We ask that you contribute a salad, antipasto dish, snacks or a dessert, plus whatever you'd like to drink, both alcoholic and non.
Please signup here or contact SPSCA web editor.
So grab your sunscreen, straw hats and hearty appetites, and head for the hills of Ravensdale!
