WHAT YOU MISSED! Member Meeting June 12, 2019

June 14, 2019 12:00 AM | Simona Fava (Administrator)

LOCATION: SONS OF ITALY LODGE, WHEAT RIDGE

The evening began with a social hour as everyone gathered in anticipation of some great bocce ball contests to follow! As we checked in, we were told to draw a number…as that would determine which team we’d be on for the contest. Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli catered the dinner that included a wide selection of sandwiches, sides and great cookies. 

President Andrew Murano opened a short meeting, welcoming all, and thanking our hosts Paul LoNigro, Fred Marzano and Sal Siragusa from the Italians of America club. He also thanked Heidi Naples for providing our supper. Andrew then introduced the Board members and asked guests to say a few words about what brought them here. (Most came for the bocce ball, of course!)

Janet Lombardi showed a large 3-ring binder which will be our new business card book. Everyone is to fill the pages with their business cards, making sure there are always plenty there. This will be at each meeting and will be organized in a few different ways to make it easy to find either the person or the business. We are, after all, business helping business! She stressed that anyone wanting to do business with our members is welcome to become a member. Andrew added that we are also a social as well as cultural organization.

Then it was time for fun and games! Teams were directed to the outside courts, and the play began…along with much cheering and “oh drat” comments. We ended with two teams in a final battle for the best – and it was really close!!! Final score was 4 to 3. The winning team members were Don Fratello (member), Jess Linton (guest), Linda Linton (guest) and John Woods (guest.) Needless to say they were pretty excited! 

All in all, a great time was enjoyed by everyone – and I’ll bet there will be some practicing before the next bocce ball event!
