Big crowd attends pasta feast benefiting Operation Tango Mike

NICE, Calif. – The Sons of Italy and Operation Tango Mike hosted a pasta feast on Thursday, Feb. 21, to a standing-room-only crowd.

There was not one empty seat in the house when it was time for dinner to be served. Unfortunately, some supporters had to be turned away at the door.

Neither organization expected a response so great from the community that it would necessitate stopping admission.

Those who were fortunate to dine enjoyed a delicious homemade meal and a wide variety of desserts.

The Lakeport Lions supported the dinner dance by sponsoring twenty service members and veterans, paying for their dinners

Many prizes were awarded throughout the evening and dancers kicked up their heels to the High Notes, who donated their time and talents.

With the overwhelming success of the event, both organizations agree that partnering again is in the future. However, any indoor events will be presale and may even feature two seating times for dinner.

There is discussion of an outdoor event at the Sons of Italy lodge, which will allow for more seating and a different dining and dancing experience.

Both organizations are grateful for the support and truly regret not being able to admit all who wished to attend. Every effort was made, including borrowing extra chairs, but the building simply could not accommodate more attendance.

On Saturday, March 16, the Sons of Italy will host a dinner dance featuring the well-known band Twice and Good.

The Sons of Italy also hosts afternoon dining the first Sunday of each month at 1 p.m. and dinner dances on various Saturdays each month. Call 707-274-9952 for more information.

Operation Tango Mike hosts packing parties to prepare care packages for deployed troops on the third Thursday of each month at 6 p.m., Umpqua Bank, 805 11th St., Lakeport.

The March packing party will mark ten years since founder Ginny Craven began the local troop support effort.

The community is invited to attend and commemorate Lake County’s ongoing endeavors on behalf of America’s troops.
