The Rotary Club of Guelph South will host its 22nd annual “A Taste of Italy” pasta dinner on Friday, February 6, 2026, at the Puslinch Community Centre in Puslinch, Ontario, to raise money for local charities. The all-you-can-eat Italian buffet, silent auction and table sponsorships aim to support the Sunrise Therapeutic Riding & Learning Centre and other community projects.

Tickets have historically ranged from $25 for children to $60 for adults; current prices and purchase locations are posted on the Rotary Club of Guelph South’s events page (see the Club’s events listing) and may also be available through local outlets in some years. Corporate table sponsorships are offered as well; pricing and sponsor benefits (for example, dinner for a table and recognition during the evening) are listed on the event page or can be confirmed by contacting the Club.

Past dinners have historically raised upwards of $15,000–$16,000 when combined with silent auctions and sponsorships. This year’s net proceeds will help cover operational costs at Sunrise Therapeutic Riding & Learning Centre, which provides equine-assisted programs for children and adults with special needs, and will also contribute to other Rotary-supported programs across Guelph and Puslinch.

Volunteer spots are available for dinner set-up, food service and auction coordination. Anyone interested in helping can sign up online via the event page or by contacting the Rotary Club of Guelph South directly; the Club’s event listing includes contact details.
