lentils Christmas Banquet 2010

Double commitment this year to break LIPU territory. After the success of the banquet prepared by the break delegate Paul Canepa and volunteers of the section La Spezia held on December 4 and 5, it was the turn of the banquet prepared Oasis LIPU Arcola Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 to Mall of Santo Stefano Magra Conad Leclerc.
Again so cold and so many brave volunteers, I would say the "hard core" of the Oasis (Hercules, Franca, Valter, Donatella, Orietta, Paul and Claudio).
talking with passers-by of the initiative was not easy, people are always rushing and intimidated by the demand for money, forced during the Christmas period for a real banquet slalom between benefits of various kinds.
But the theme of this year we had to so focussed on the fact raising money to fund and support projects of the 30 Oasis LIPU of Italy.
is why our main objective was to raise awareness of the young Oasis Arcola, his projects and work so far carried out over a small photographic exhibition that better than many words explaining the different management activities.

Sunday then we tried to attract people by setting up a banquet with
a steaming pot of lentils! I have to say that they were very good (fried garlic, onion and bay leaves), but it is true that not as good was the success of the idea. Inexplicably, in fact only very few have accepted tasting (except Mustapha, who, if they have scofanati two plates), so finally I brought them home and had dinner there for a week.
Sales were similar to those of last year. To make a difference this year was the mega-purchase of Claudio (200 euros of lentils, pasta and wine!) On behalf of friends and relatives, Bravo Claude!
