Italian Buffet to Benefit Hospice

Fox Valley Volunteer Hospice is hosting “Escape to Villa Verone,” an evening of all-you-can-eat food, entertainment, and a chance to win a tropical getaway. The event will be held on Sunday, February 26, at 5:30 p.m. at Villa Verone, 416 Hamilton Street in Geneva. All proceeds benefit FVVH. Seating is limited.

The Italian buffet, prepared and served by the Villa Verone staff, will be accompanied by entertainment from pianist Terry Andrew. To ward off the winter blues, the evening’s prizes include a week-long stay in a condominium on Sanibel Island, Florida and an overnight stay at the Hotel Baker in St. Charles.

Fox Valley Volunteer Hospice is a community-based, nonprofit organization dedicated to serving those with life-threatening illnesses and those who have lost loved ones. In addition to one-on-one support, the agency also offers medical equipment loans, adult and children’s grief support groups, community education on end-of-life care and grief, and a community lending library. All services are provided free of charge.

Tickets for “Escape to Villa Verone” are $35 each, and can be reserved on-line at www.fvvh.org or by contacting Kathy Melone at (630) 232-2233, ext. 221.
