We ❤️ Passata Party! 🍅  We had the BEST day at Passata Party Vol. 2! We danced, squished tomatoes, listened to beautiful Italian folk songs and bottled the most delicious sauce.  Passata is now ready for collection at Newlands Neighbourhood House, during our opening hours (Tues-Fri, 10-4pm). We have limited it to 1 bottle per person, and you'll have to get in quick - there are only 60 bottles!  We want to say a big thank you to the following people who helped to make Passata Party Vol. 2 such a success: Nonna Rita & Nonno Umberto, Moreland Council, Wildlife Bakery, Market Lane Coffee, Rosa & The Melbourne School of Tarantella, Sanacori & Brewlands! *** We're also about half way through our Biderp/Iuk program! We've got a few more excellent programs coming up, so please scroll down to see what fun things are on offer for the next month.  AND - put the 8th April in your diaries, because that's when our new program will launch, packed with some old faves and new friends 🎉  xx The NECCHi Team  VOTING NOW OPEN!
