The Paolo Busti Cultural Foundation’s Outstanding Italian American awards event for the spring of 2017 will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 14, at Terry Hills Restaurant. This honor is awarded to a man and woman who have given exemplary service to their community.
This year, the awards are being presented to Rick Mancuso and Peppina (Peppi) Palmer. These honorees have left a special mark in their communities, as youth groups, veterans, seniors, and those lonely and dying have experienced their love and thoughtfulness.
