P.S. Italy A&M Club Muster 2025 – April 12, 2025 – Florence, Italy
The Italy A&M Club is excited to invite you to its 2025 Muster on Saturday, April 12, 2025. Easter falls on Sunday, April 20th this year resulting in Muster being held on Monday the day after, or on La Pasquetta (little Easter), this is also a national holiday in Italy and a day when Italians generally escape from the cities and towns to the countryside. Hosting on Saturday evening before Easter weekend will allow more members to attend based on individual travel requirements and holiday plans.
The Italy Muster celebration will take place at Trattoria Mamma Gina. In the heart of Florence, Italy, just a few steps from the Ponte Vecchio (the old bridge). All current, former students and friends of the university are encouraged and welcome to attend, along with their family and children. To help plan for the muster event, we kindly request that you RSVP by emailing the number of guests (and names) in your party as soon as possible. The RSVP is for head count only.
I hope to see everyone there! PLEASE forward this email to anyone who you think may want to attend.
