Racine – For the second time, the Olive Garden of
Racine will give residents of Ridgewood Care Center a special treat. At
noon on Wednesday, February 29, 2012, the Olive Garden will serve approximately
200 Ridgewood residents and family members a delicious Italian dinner.
Olive Garden employees will prepare the meals on site
and serve the residents as if they were actually at the restaurant. The
menu includes soup or salad, breadsticks, penne pasta with a choice of meat
or Alfredo sauce, freshly grated Romano cheese, and cannoli. To
create a genuine Italian experience, Frank Germinaro will play authentic
Italian music on his accordion.
Olive Garden is providing the meals for Ridgewood
residents at no charge. Family members as well as employees are welcome to
enjoy the same meal for a nominal cost. As an additional gift,
Olive Garden is donating these funds back to Ridgewood for special events and
resident outings. Said Ridgewood Administrator Michelle Putz, “Everyone
at Ridgewood is overwhelmed by this generous gift and deeply grateful for
the Olive Garden team's compassion and kindness.”
For more information about this event or future
events at Ridgewood Care Center, please contact Krista Kennedy, Director of
Recreation and Volunteers, at 262-554-2256 or
