Stuffed with Spaghetti!

Love.

That’s the only way to describe how I felt after Josephine’s benefit at The Knights of Columbus (www.kofc3533.org).

Generosity, kindness, love, joy and support filled the room to the gills.  Literally.

There were approximately 125 people in attendance.  Tables were added.  Standing room only.  45 POUNDS of pasta was served!  Just to give you an idea…the average pasta event serves 10-15 pounds.

I was so moved (and still am) to see so many people (friends and family – my parents surprised us and attended as well) attend on such short notice.  I was speechless and that’s saying a whole lot coming from me.

So, THANK YOU to Carmine Iacullo, the Grand Knight of The Knights of Columbus Council 3533!  Thank you to our family!  Thank you to our friends!  Thank you to everyone that has been supporting our little girl.

Your actions, prayers and thoughts mean more to us than you will ever understand.

Pasta Dinner – Sunday October 17, 2010

Our first Pasta Dinner for the 2010-2011 Columbian Year will be on Sunday October 17, 2010 beginning at 4pm at the council hall.  The proceeds of this dinner will go to benefit a 2 year-old girl named Josephine Senek.  Josephine is afflicted with a chromosome disorder called Tetrasomy 8p Mosaicism and is 1 of 20 in the world that is diagnosed with this condition.

The Senek family are parishioners of St. Raphael’s Church in Livingston and has called upon us for help.  I know that our council will do their best to support this event and the family.  If you would like to donate, please send a check payable to K of C 3533 and write “Josephine Senek” in the memo line.
