PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
My Dear Members:

I hope you and your families have all been well this past month.
I would like to thank all of you who responded to my previous message regarding our Davedi Club monthly General Supper Meetings. The turn-out for the February General Meeting was very good and we had a wonderful time. We hope this is a trend and that each month it gets better and better. I will make special mention of this months general meeting which is taking place on March 31st, encouraging each one of you, members of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Davedi Club and the regular Club members, to attend this important dinner meeting. As I said last time, please come, bring a friend, enjoy the fellowship, ask questions and bring your ideas forward.

Buona Pasqua,
Vince Orlando President

A chi bene crede, Dio provvede.
A chi parla poco, gli basta la metà del cervello.
A goccia a goccia s’incava la pietra.

Poesia
Pasque
Uccellino venuto dal bosco, che piangendo fuggivi, cos’hai visto laggiù?
Ho veduto di sotto gli ulivi, sanguinare Gesù.
Uccellino venuto dal monte, che scappavi veloce, cos’hai visto lassù?
Ho veduto tre uomini in croce, ed in mezzo c’era Gesù.
Uccellino venuto dal piano, che cinguetti nel volo, cos’hai visto laggiù?
Ho veduto dal bianco lenzuolo, risvegliarsi Gesù.

Proverbio
Marzo pazzarello
Esce il sole e prendi l’ombrello
Io vi auguro di cuore
Una felice e Santa Pasqua

Auguri,
Cathy Fruci
