I
want to thank Ed and Elaine Battistini for chairing another wonderful
and successful Scholarship Foundation Dinner-Dance on April 3. As
you know, this event entails a lot of hard work, but Ed and Elaine
and their wonderful committee of family and friends easily overcame
this challenge and made sure that the evening was not only successful,
but also exciting and enjoyable for everyone attending. From the beautiful
decorations (with fresh flowers donated by Maria Levy), to the delicious
food, the exciting raffle and silent auction, and the great music
for dancing by the Bob Gutierrez Band, the entire evening was a lot
of fun. Thank you, again, Ed and Elaine. A great big thank you also
to everyone who donated cash and items for the silent auction and
raffle. Special thanks to Greg Menna, Daniel Monaco, the Lou Poletti
Family Trust, and the Festa Italiana Committee, who made very significant
cash donations to the Scholarship Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who was involved with the delicious baccalá
and polenta dinner served at our April general dinner meeting. It
was a great dinner! Special thanks to Alfeo Fabbri, Marcello Bonacchi,
Gino Nomellini, Lino Carrara, Leno Freschet, and Chef Norman.
I invite you to come and enjoy a wonderful afternoon with your family
at the PIASC on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 9. On that day we will hold
our annual Mother’s Day Dinner to honor our mothers and to celebrate
Mother’s Day. Chairpersons are Cliff and Terri Goodwine and Frank
and Franca Benvenuto. These chairpersons promise everyone a wonderful
dinner and a great time. As in the past, Cliff will present each mother
with a beautiful flower or plant. The popular Pasquale Esposito will
sing some of your very favorite Italian songs.
On May 15 the PIASC will hold its annual Venetian Night Dinner Dance.
The chairpersons for this event are a very enthusiastic young couple,
Richard and Holly Borghello. Rich and Holly and their committee are
hard at work preparing for this special event. The evening will have
a real Venetian theme, with great decorations, a special menu, bottled
wine, and the lively music of the Steve Balich Band. Plan on attending
and I assure you will have a great time.
Mark you calendar for Saturday, May 22, when the PIASC will hold its
annual Festa dei Cacciatori Dinner Dance. The evening will feature
exquisite authentic Italian cuisine, dessert, bottled wine, and excellent
music for dancing by the Steve Balich Band. Please see the flyer in
this Pensogram for more details. The complete price for this package
for members and guests is only $25 per person. Chairpersons are Remo
Giuntoli and Angelo Fanucchi.
The officers and directors of the PIASC are looking for ways to modernize
and beautify the Club even more. Stay turned for further details and
information on this subject. Meanwhile, enjoy the month of May and
our beautiful spring weather. I hope to see most of you at the above
events.
Happy Mother’s Day!
