Featured Event!  Italian Night Community Dinner & Film Festival

This event is hosted by our Mountain MidLife group as a fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting the nonprofit Nederland Area Seniors which sponsors them. We need our friends who have enjoyed the

dinners, brunches, and other events we host to sign up to help at this event and to spread the word to

encourage the entire community – families, kids, youth – to attend. Please come support your organization.

 

Celebrate our community at our first-ever Italian Night Community Dinner serving family-friendly fare of Spaghetti, Meatballs, Salad, Garlic Bread, and Fruit. Wines from Augustina’s Winery will be available for purchase by the glass.

No reservations required, just stop in on Saturday, September 16, 4:30pm-7:30pm. Dinner is $10 Adult, $5 Requested Contribution over age 60, and $4 Children under age 12.

 

This special evening is offered during the Nederland Film Festival, which offers before-dinner shorts and the after-dinner feature for a combined price of $10! The 4:30pm shorts begin with a 3-minute film by our own Mountain MidLife friend Brent Warren and end with scenes from a film about Leftover Salmon produced by local filmmaker Eric Abramson, present for the screening. At 7:00pm, the feature continues the Italian Night theme with the story of a young man trying to produce his grandfather’s never-performed opera.
