Venetian Mask Making Event

On Wednesday February 27th, 2019, in the Fisher student center room 1, we held the annual Venetian Mask Making event in honor of Carnevale.

We had a good showing at today's event to celebrate Carnevale. Everyone loved gathering around  listening to great Italian american music and creating beautiful masks. It was a good environment to be in because everyone was embracing the culture of Venice.

Carnevale is like a send off before the season of lent. In the city of Venice, they party and enjoy themselves before they have to give up a lot for their religion. People celebrate for two weeks using dancing, dressing up in wonderful colors, and wearing masks. It is a wonderful time for everyone to get together and celebrate the culture of Venice. 

Everyone enjoying the craft of making Venetian masks. 

Annual Cannoli Event

On February 13th, 2019, we had our annual cannoli assembling event.  We simply made the filling from a recipe then filled our own cannolis and decorated the ends with mini chocolate chips! There are various types of cannoli filling recipes, but we used the most basic filling recipe to teach our members. 

Here are some pictures of our meeting!
