The Somerville Homeless Coalition is hosting the 3rd Annual Tina DeLellis Luncheon on October 21^st , from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., at The Highland Kitchen in Somerville. The luncheon is held in memory of Tina DeLellis, a founder of the popular Somerville restaurant and music venue, Johnny D’s. The luncheon recognizes an individual who has made a significant contribution in helping improve the quality of life for individuals in Somerville. DeLellis, who passed away in 2008, is survived by her daughter, Carla, who now manages Johnny D’s and continues the community involvement the business has supported for many years.

This year's honoree is Sandra McGoldrick of Winter Hill Bank. Requirements for the Tina DeLellis Distinguished Service Award are that the individual “continue Tina’s spirit and values of straight-shooting, honesty and fairness,” said Mark Alston-Follansbee, Executive Director of the Somerville Homeless Coalition. Attendees will enjoy a delicious lunch from The Highland Kitchen while sharing in Tina’s memory and appreciating Sandra’s accomplishments. All proceeds will benefit the non-profit organization.
