Buon Appetito! The Nelson Italian-Canadian Society is Serving Up their 1st
Annual Italian Sausage Fundraiser
Since 1972, Nelsonites have shown they have an appetite for good Italian food and enjoyed
yearly Italian style banquets while helping the Nelson Italian-Canadian Society to fundraise in support of many community initiatives.
But this year, COVID-19 has upended everyone’s lives, including the fundraising efforts of the community group. So far the group has had to cancel its Wine Festival, Bocce Tournament, Members’ Picnic and their annual BBQ’d Italian sausage sale, complete with grilled onions and red and green peppers, at the Nelson Road Kings Car Show.
So, with that in mind, the NICS has organized its volunteers to sell their famous Car Show
sausages for people to prepare and enjoy at home. They are now taking orders for mild or hot Italian sausages. Fresh, not frozen – 5 sausages per package for only $12. All proceeds go to support charitable initiatives in Nelson.
The NICS homemade Italian sausages are made from an authentic recipe that uses just four
ingredients. No filler, no preservatives, no gluten, no dairy. Just really good food.
“The Society volunteers are thrilled at the opportunity to be able to fundraise in spite of the
COVID cancellations of our events. We not only get to continue to give to the community but we get to feed them too. Now that’s Italian.” says NICS President Paul Boscariol. “Thanks in
advance to everyone who spends a few dollars and supports our 1st annual Italian Sausage
Fundraiser.”

Pre-orders for sausages are limited and the sale closes on July 22, 2020.

I hope you have been keeping well. As you know Covid 19 has greatly impacted the Arts & Culture sector and we have been working tirelessly since our closure on March 15 to get the Gallery online. We now are excited to announce that our Online Shop is OPEN! Please go to our website, Viewpointartgallery.comto enter the Online Shop which proudly features all 60 of our fabulous artists in the Gallery with free local delivery or contact-free pick up service. We will gladly ship out artwork as well.
Along with the new Online Shop, the Gallery has started a campaign, Art for Food which also launched on May 1, 2020. Several artists and artisans at the Gallery have generously donated their work in efforts to raise money for Food Banks in the Kootenay area. The Gallery is waiving commission and covering all processing fees on these items, so that 100% of the funds raised goes directly to the Food Banks in the Kootenay Region.
Not sure what the upcoming months will bring, I can only hope things will turn around. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help promote the Gallery and our Art For Food Campaign.
Sincerely,Carolyn Beck, B. Des., -
