Bringing Italian culture to the forefront, with nonnas, spaghetti and a large family style gathering, the Italian American-Club of the CSRA continues to host their annual Pasta Festival. The Pasta Festival, a one day fundraising and charity gather on Friday, Oct. 7, provides meals and fellowship to the Augusta community.

Portions of the proceeds will contribute to a scholarship for special needs students at the Immaculate Conception Catholic School in downtown Augusta. Regina Weitz, president of the IAC, said the Pasta Festival is meant to bring the community together while bonding over some homemade food. According to Weitz, the club has served over 1,000 meals during the one day event.
