Happy Spring to all our members!
Our April meeting was well attended. We had 41 members, which included our 3 new members that were sworn in. We welcome you ladies to the club and look forward to seeing you at our monthly meetings and participating in our events. We all enjoyed a lovely spuntino provided by the Men’s Club. A BIG thanks go out to Laurie Cullen and Linda Granko, your homemade desserts were colorful and delicious!!!
We had a lot to cover on our agenda. Some By-Law changes, conducted by, Melinda Brignone, will be read at the April, May, and June meetings and then voted on. Diane Sericati of the membership committee installed 3 of our 4 new members to the club. She also, read 3 new applicant names. NOTE: To our members, if you “know” an Italian woman, who you would like to sponsor, please pick-up a “New Member Application” form when you sign in at our monthly meetings or contact Diane Sericati or myself and we will get one to you. On May 7, we are having our “Mother’s Day Dinner” meeting with a surprise menu (this is a free dinner-members only). Remember to make your reservations, call Diane Sericati or email to [email protected]. We also spoke about our “May Birthday Dinner” on May 20, we still need a member to volunteer to chair this event. Please let me know by April 20, for this event to proceed. At our June 3 Business Meeting, we are having a presentation by Barbara Denton, the Author of “Sweet Success”. Refer to the flyer for more information and be sure to mark your calendar. Our Bunco Ravioli Luncheon has been moved back to its original date of June 8; you don’t want to miss this fun event. Monday, June 23, we have scheduled a day trip to Cache Creek. Please see the attached flyer and RSVP by the deadline date to ensure that we have enough people to attend. Our Scholarship Tea, August 16, is also approaching. A sign-up sheet to host a table was available at our meeting, 6 tables were signed up for. If you are interested in hosting a table please contact Barbara Barassi to sign up.
THE BEST FOR LAST!! Our “80th Anniversary Celebration” was “FABULOUS”. I can’t say enough! The Club looked beautiful, the flowers gorgeous, the dinner was over the top, thebartenders service made for a festive start, our handsome wait staff was perfect, (all volunteers from the Men’s Club), and our members and guests were having a wonderful time. The energy was high, and everyone was dressed for the evening. Big thanks go out to our women’s club members and men (so many names to mention) that volunteered time to put this celebration together and made it a wonderful evening!!! Grazie a tutti!!!
Buona Pasqua!! Take time to hug the ones you love!!
Ciao for now!!
