Our attendance at our March meeting was “very good” – with 48 members in attendance. Energy was high and so was our social hour. It was great to see so many of you and to catch up with each other. We all enjoyed a delicious spuntino provided by the Men’s Club. Thank you to Joan and Melinda Brignone for providing the delicious home-made cookies!! Yum!!
February started off with our famous Polenta Dinner. The dinner was chaired by Joanne Greco. Compliments to her great group of members who came to set-up and decorate on Monday and another crew to serve the dinner on Tuesday night. Our cooks Stefano Musetti and Matt Slader with the help of volunteer Ken Clark, along with our kitchen crew Rose Marie Gish and Bev Chernoff provided another great Polenta Dinner. Thank you to all the committee helpers for helping to make this an enjoyable evening. And a “BIG” thank you to our members who donated all the lovely raffle gifts. They are always appreciated!
Our “80th Anniversary Dinner” is March 22, 2025. Members and guests are encouraged to come and celebrate this wonderful occasion and most of all remember the rich history of our club and the women who got us here. Karen Garcia will have her picture boards on display of Past Presidents, and of club events, in the Card Room. The menu is fabulous, our color theme is RUBY RED, and there will be wonderful music for dancing after our dinner. Please see our flyer for more information. I look forward to seeing you there!!!!
We voted in four new members tonight. Lauren Brignone, Sharon Hunt, Terri Hurlbut and Susen Stauffer. Come to our April business meeting to welcome them and help celebrate their installation to our Fratellanza Women’s Social Club family.
We announced our two representatives to the IAF (Italian American Federation) Claudia Albano and Renee Howley-Borreani. Thank you both for your interest and for volunteering!
With great sadness we announced the passing of our long-time member, friend, and Past President Pat Irvine. She will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her sister Joan Holland, and Pats, daughters and members Rachelle Babb and Renee New.
Take time to hug the ones you love!!
Ciao for now!!
Rozz Cantisani
