Dear Carrie,

I’m Nuccia Hinckley, founder of The Italian School of Tampa located on 7th Avenue and newly appointed President of The Italian Club Ladies Auxiliary. I have been involved with the Italian Club and Ybor City for about three years now and I have worked intensely and continue to do so not just to promote Italian Culture and Language but also to recreate true Italian events that showcase the best Italian traditions. 
March 5th 2011, for the 3rd consecutive year, we will be celebrating The Venetian Carnival in Tampa, an event I celebrated for the first time in 2009 for a selected group of students and friends and that in just three years has taken a life of his own and is now becoming a real tradition.
I don’t want to take too much of your time by writing a long e-mail so I will just ask you to take a look at the flyer I’m attaching and check out the website where all the details can be found. 
I would like to invite you to participate and to pass this invitation to everyone involved in the GaYBOR District coalition. If you have any questions regarding the event please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone and I will be happy to give you more details. I look forward to hear from you soon. 
Best Regards,
Nuccia Hinckley
