SNAPD
April 1, 2019

The Alpine Italian Mountain Soldiers Veteran's Association (Gruppo Autonomo Vaughan, Canada) held a dinner dance, on Saturday, March 23, 2019. Members of the association along with their family and friends gathered to recognize and celebrate the immense contributions of the Alpini as one of the oldest active mountain infantry in the world. Dressed in their veteran attire and hats, the evening commenced with a traditional march by representatives of Italian military & police veterans, and the Knights of Columbus Honour Guard, followed by members of families, caring their father's/grandfather's Alpini hats in commemoration of those who are no longer with us. The march was followed by a wonderful evening of dinner and dancing. A Draw was held with proceeds going to support the Meta Centre - The James De Zen Centre of Abilities, a facility for adults with various challenges.
