SIF has a MOU with MIF

So what does all that mean. On Friday 26th June the Hepburn Springs Swiss Italian Festa (SIF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Melbourne Italian Festival (MIF).

"This historic partnership with MIF will give us a great opportunity to promote our festa and shire under the MIF umbrella." - Rob McDonald SIF President

The MOU was signed by Franca Smarrelli the MIF director and Rob McDonald the SIF President and was sealed with lunch at The Old Macaroni Factory in Hepburn Springs.

MIF (MIF 2009) is held between May and June each year to coincide with Italy's Republic Day on June 2nd.

The 2009 Hepburn Springs SIF will be held between October 9th and 18th.

Hope to see you there.
