Casa de la Cultura Casa de la Cultura began in 2011 as a local initiative of Project Gettysburg-León. Sharing the mission of fostering friendship, education and cultural exchange, Casa de la Cultura promotes the rights of immigrants in Adams County and creates a space for the community to explore the arts and healthy living while emphasizing Latino culture and its realities. Initiatives include support for youth applicants of Deferred Action, English as a Second Language instruction in Gettysburg and Biglerville, swimming clinics, and immigration reform activism, as well as partnerships with Painted Turtle Farm and Healthy Options for healthy living and family education activities.

Dinner will include a Prosecco toast and four separate wine tastings, Authentic Italian Cuisine made from local ingredients and lots of fun conversation. This dinner will occur either at the home of Elizabeth and Marty or at a location of your choosing. A little about your chefs: Steve Whitman received a Fulbright fellowship to study in Italy, specializing in history and politics. From art to politics, you will enjoy his conversations, but perhaps more importantly he is fluent in Italian wines. Nancy Whitman is a published expert on Italian architecture, of which there will be none at the dinner. Nancy is a dual citizen, for which Steve is most grateful, since every year they spend time in her familial town of Vittorio Veneto. Elizabeth Meighan (Gettysburg College '90) is still convincing her father to process the paperwork to obtain her dual citizenship. His "It will get done eventually" attitude, should be enough proof for the authorities without any paperwork. Elizabeth is also an accomplished chef, specializing in Italian cuisine. Marty Qually likes to eat Italian food and isn't a bad chef either. 6. Live Music with The Willys The Willys The Willys will play a 2 hour gig for you. Location and date will be discussed with the winning bidder. The Willys play a variety of music from the 60's to current hits, dance music to easy listening. Perfect for any event.
