Dear Italian - Canadian,

I am sure that you have heard of the tragedy that has occurred in L’Aquila, in the Province of Abruzzi, Italy.

I was born in the small town of Abbateggio, in the Province of Abruzzi.

The town of Abbateggio is approximately 100 km away from the town of L’Aquila.

As owner of the Italia Shooters, a soccer team in the City of Vaughan Ontario, I would like to help raise funds for the

earthquake stricken area and donate to a trust relief fund all of the proceeds of our home opener. The Italia Shooters

play against the Montréal Impact Reserve team on Friday May 15, kick-off time is 8:15 pm. Also playing that night

(kick-off 6:30pm) will the Woodbridge Strikers, the Italia Shooters official reserve team vs the Brampton Dixie Lions,

the official reserve team of the Brampton Lions. Both teams are from a city that is highly populated by Italian-

Canadians.

The City of Vaughan has one of the highest populations of Italian-Canadians in Canada. We would like your support in

coming out to the game and donate whatever amount you can afford. We will also provide a minute of silence to

honour the deceased.

Please help us spread the event - your co-operation would be most appreciated.

Please email me any thoughts, comments, suggestions and support back to my personal email address

tdt@dethomasfinancial.com or to our soccer email address at info@italishooters.ca

Thank you and hope to see you at our event,

Tony De Thomasis

President

Italia Shooters, of the City of Vaughan
