This fundraiser is to raise money for two tickets to Rome on June 23, 2011. Our organization is an International Honor Committee member of Donne in Musica in Rome and Fiuggi, Italy. Through that affiliation, we created a liaison between Lauderhill, FL and Fiuggi, Italy for a Sister City twinning. Mayor Richard Kaplan has been invited by Mayor Fabrizio Martini to visit Fiuggi in June and two of us will be part of his delegation to discuss the twinning and a cultural exchange in 2012-2013, once the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center is built. This partnership will benefit the cultural and business community in Broward County.
