PRESIDENT’S MESSAGES

This summer at the Davedi Club was a very busy one and good for business. We are looking forward to an amazing rest of the year. Thanks to all the involved members who make this club so successful. Special kudos to Sandro Cipparone who is doing a wonderful job in our office.

Vince Orlando,
President Davedi Club

Ladies Auxiliary President’s Message

Our Ladies Auxiliary have truly been working extra hard these past couple of months and will continue for this next month in preparation for our 54th annual convention coming up on Sept 30, Oct. 1st & 2nd. A huge “THANK YOU” goes out to Nella Verardi for organizing and keeping her teams in order. Nella’s team started out with three ladies. She lost her main helper and best friend when Adele Williams passed away. Then her second helper Sue Lunnin moved away, and then there was one. Nella’s famous words are “One cannot succeed with these large projects without all these good workers behind you”. That is very true Nella. This is proven over and over again with all the women who continue to stand behind any person who heads our many projects. Not only are we working on our convention, but our spaghetti suppers which will be on Sunday Sept. 24th nd Sunday Ocotber 29th, our craft show coming up on Nov. 4th and 5th, bake sale on December 3rd, not to mention getting prepared for our elections in October.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all you wonderful ladies who participate and truly make our club a success. For those of you who feel that you do not have time or are a little shy to volunteer, won‘t you please give it a second thought as we have many projects and many warm-hearted women here to welcome you. Don’t miss the beautiful experience of getting to know all these wonderful people in our club.

Joke of the Day: There is a story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: “I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in your pockets.”

Keep happy and healthy,

Lena Fedeli
President Ladies Auxiliary
