Township Supports Redhawks with Pasta

Parsippany gathered for good food and a good cause at the last Thursday. The occasion was the first annual Baseball Pasta Dinner sponsored by the Diamond Club.

Event proceeds went toward the High's Redhawks baseball team.

Mayor James Barberio made a welcome appearance to cheer on the team, and the PHS baseball coaches were on hand to show their support. The real draw of the event, however, was the food—pasta with homemade meatballs and sauce prepared by the local chapter of the Sons of Italy, a civic group dedicated to community service.

SOI President Joe Jannarone led the cooking crew, which also included PHS parents.

"We're here to do our part for the community," he said. 

By all accounts, the food was delicious. And as Frank Pogoda's photos show, the crowd had a great time.
