Rotary Club Morimondo Abbey

[Article by Silvia Lodi Pasini published on “Settegiorni”]  – Burraco Solidarity Tournament of the Rotary Club Morimondo Abbazia, Sunday 27 October at the premises of Anffas Onlus in Abbiategrasso – “Il Melograno” Foundation Onlus. “It was wonderful to have been able to share a charitable afternoon in the premises of Anffas, to which the entire proceeds of the tournament will be allocated for the creation of the Gran Galà della Risata which will take place on November 15th at the Fair” commented the president Davide Carnevali.

With 104 players, 26 gaming tables and 4 groups, the autumn edition of the event went beyond all expectations, inspired by members Monica Speroni and Oriella Pasini. The player accreditation operations began at 2.30 pm and the game phases began at 3.00 pm. At 6.30 pm the game judge, Cosimo La Fratta, gave the stop, declaring the winning pairs. The event was also enlivened by a prize draw for charity. The president of Morimondo Abbazia himself, Davide Carnevali, presented the prizes, supported by a well-assorted group of members who were available to take care of the logistical phases of the event and to welcome the players for the entire duration of the tournament, which ended with refreshments open to all and a risotto. The cause for which the event was organized is noble: to raise funds to be donated entirely to Anffas to support the costs of the evening event which takes place on November 15th in the Fiera district: the Gran Galà della Risata, organized to celebrate the 40 years of activity of the Abbiategrasso branch, founded in 1984.
