The Nannini Group in Bermuda will be hosting its Red Cross fundraising buffet next Monday, September 5 at Pirate?s Landing in Dockyard.

The event begins at 6.30 p.m. and costs $15 per person with wine and beer included in the fee. All proceeds will go towards the Bermuda Red Cross West Africa Crisis Appeal.

Nannini spokesperson Shelly Wilks said Fosco Nannini joined forces in donating the food and alcohol for the buffet in an effort to raise awareness of the plight of more than 3.5 million people ? including more than one million children ? facing starvation in Niger and neighbouring countries.
