A Message from the Club President
|
 |
Since the first of the year, we’ve
had several members pass away.
Please keep them and their
families in your prayers.
The Club’s two major charitable
events were very successful.
The St. Joseph Pageant generated
$2,940 for various charities. This
makes the total to date $85,295. A
big thanks to the chairpersons (Florence Coleman, Grace
Pizzo, Nancy Cosentino and Sal DiPasquale) and all of
you that donated food and your time to this event.
The Taste of Italy was a sell out. We donated $5,135 to the
Penrickton Center for Blind Children. This makes the 5
year total $17,485. A big thanks to Tony Lumia and his
volunteers. Also thanks to Mary Cottone and Leslie Lupo
for planting flowers and landscape work prior to the
event.
At our Spaghetti Dinner on Wednesday May 21st, we
served 726 dinners. We also introduced sausage, which
went very well, with us selling out all 40 pounds. More
importantly, we had a sufficient number of volunteers.
The News-Herald will be doing a photo spread with
pictures from the May Spaghetti Dinner. In April we
served 725 dinners.
Remember it’s always the third Wednesday of the month.
If you can’t work then round up some friends and enjoy
the freshly made sauce, meatballs and now sausage.
These monthly dinners are open to the public.
The next Club summer events, other than the monthly
Spaghetti Dinners, are as follows:
Mary Cottone again will organize our participation in the
Wyandotte Fourth of July Parade. Come join us for the
fun and bring your children and grandchildren. We will
meet at the Club for pizza after the event.
Vivian and Mike Palazzolo will again chair the Club
Picnic on Sunday July 27th. See flyer in this newsletter.
The annual Club Golf Outing will be held on Saturday
August 9th at Westburn Country Club in South
Rockwood. It was very successful last year. Gaetano
Vitale is working to make it even better. Bring your
golfing friends. See the flyer in this newsletter.
The fall dance has been rescheduled for Saturday October
4th. The old date was October 12th, so change your
calendars. Mary Wierzba and her daughter, Janice
Labadie, are chairing the event, which will be titled
“Dancing with the Stars”.
