WELCOME
Thank you grazie to everyone who made An Afternoon Affair a success!The 3rd annual An Afternoon Affair – a celebration of women, exclusively for women in support of Villa Foundation took place on June 13, 2010. Over 200 women enjoyed traditional afternoon tea at the Park Hyatt Toronto while listening to special presentations by Bryce Wylde, Dr. Lisa Kellet, Gina Mollicone-Long and Debbie Van Kiekebelt, on the theme of the event - outer beauty and inner strength, moderated by broadcaster Laura Di Battista. Guests were also treated to an exclusive look at the newest Ports 1961 collection; a sneak peak of Rita Tesolin’s newest jewellery creations and one luck lady won a $1000 shopping spree at Bandiera Jewellers.
Approximately $35,000 was raised to benefit Villa Charities’ newest daycare located in Centro Abruzzo which opened in October 2008. This much-needed third daycare will continue the tradition of the Columbus Centre Daycare – a unique brand of childcare that blends together programs that ensure proper early childhood development while celebrating Italian passion through culture and traditions.
