PRESIDENT’S MESSAGES

My Dear Members,

We closed out 2016 with a fantastic New Year’s Eve party. It was well attended and everyone had a great time. The meal was excellent and the service was outstanding. Thanks to our staff for a job well done.
I wish everyone a prosperous and healthy 2017.

Saluti,

Vince Orlando,
President Davedi Club

Greetings to all:

My message for the beginning of our new year is to compliment our ladies who never seem to stop. At our general meeting this week, when I took a good look at our members, I felt nothing but pride. They gave their reports on spaghetti suppers, bake sales, craft sale, individual board positions, opinions, discussions and the more I listened, the more proud I was.

No one was looking for anything special, but I just want them to know that THEY ARE SPECIAL.
Thank you ladies from

Lena Fedeli,
Ladies Auxiliary to the Davedi Club President

New Year`s Celebration and Dance

As noted in the President’s Message, the New Year’s Eve Celebration was a success. We had about 140 people attending with a good mix of Davedi Club Members and the general public. The food was excellent, the music great, and everyone had a super time. We hope to repeat this again next year. If you were unable to attend 2016, then come on out in 2017. You will be glad you did and we would be happy to see you.
