Congratulations to the three successful candidates for the Board of Directors: John Bagneschi, Rudy Bertolozzi, and John Chiappe. I look forward to working with all of you in the coming year.

Congratulations and thank you to Phyllis and Mike Tognotti, Chairpersons, assisted by Anna Paiva, Greg Menna, and Christina Paiva and her face painter friends on a wonderful Children Christmas Party. We got a lot of nice compliments on this event, and we thank all of you for your hard work. Thank you also to everyone who helped in serving the lunch. We never had so many people attending this event.

As I write this, I am gratified to hear that our upcoming New Year’s Eve Dinner-Dance is sold-out. Chairpersons Agnese and Pietro Marcheschi have a fabulous evening planned for us. Tom Serafini and his Espresso Five Band are ready to help us celebrate the New Year.

A sincere wish to everyone for a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year.

Buone Feste a Tutti,

Emil Bagneschi
