ALMA's 46th Annual Banquet and Student Bursaries

Another summer has passed, autumn has begun, school is back in session (Covid is in remission), and finally ALMA's Annual Banquet has returned. It is time to honor the young ALMA students that have distinguished themselves at school and to celebrate their scholastic efforts, regardless of their chosen career paths.

On November 26th, at the Buffet IL GABBIANO in Lasalle, ALMA and friends reunited to celebrate their newfound liberty with a sumptuous banquet, excellent food and lively music to work their legs after two years of sacrifices. A huge thank you to all the VOLUNTEERS that worked to make the event a great success. A special mention goes to Emily Paliotti, who guided the Golf Committee to organize the Annual Golf Tournament to ensure that all players had a wonderful experience. The committee coordinated sponsors to support the Student Bursaries, and organized games played throughout the day to raise funds for the Sabrina & Camillo Foundation. A huge thank you also goes out to the Student Bursary Co-ordinators, Emilia D'Addio and Pina Giobbi, for having coordinated the Student Bursaries, not only this year, but also in 2021-2022, during the difficult times of Covid, through video-conferencing. And of course, a big thank you to our sponsors who continue to support us with their contributions!

The winners of the Student Bursaries for the 2021-2022 scholastic year were: David Marcotte, Christopher Forlini, Vladimir D’Alesio-Ziabrov, Carlo Ramadori, Giancarlo D’Alesio, Alessia Rose Giro, Mario Giobbi-Maione.

The winners of the Student Bursaries for the 2022-2023 scholastic year were: Cristiano Fazi, Alessia Polidori, Angélique Ciampini, Gabriele Polidori.
