Many people are wrongly rejected when they apply for Social Security Disability benefits. Money was taken out of
their paychecks for Social Security taxes to ensure that they
would receive disability benefits if they could no longer work
full-time. Sadly, the government denies approximately 60%
of those who apply for disability benefits.
Attorneys Jennifer Alfonsi and J.B. Bieske have 42 years
combined experience representing only Social Security disability clients. And they personally meet with all clients and
appear themself at all court hearings. Attorneys Alfonsi and
Bieske have vast experience before local Michigan judges.
Attorneys Alfonsi and Bieske can often make a winning difference at the application stage. And, if an appeal is necessary they have won several hundred cases before a court
date is even set.
Attorneys Alfonsi and Bieske offer free phone or office consultation. If they represent you, there will be no fee charged
until after the case is won. The fee is a percentage of retroactive benefits.
Alfonsi and Bieske represent clients from all over the state
of Michigan. They have appeared numerous times before
virtually all of the judges in the state. Their main office is in
Sterling Heights at 38850 Van Dyke. Call them at 1-800-3313530 for a free consultation if you have been denied, or if you
are thinking of possibly applying for Social Security benefits.

Take charge of your Rental Business with a
legal team backing you up
Landlords are faced with the
options of (1) hiring a Property Management Company, and paying up front
for Tenant services and a
monthly maintenance fee,
or (2) going it alone, pocketing the savings, but are
forced to handle everything
themselves. Many Landlords
don’t
know what to
do.
Lucia Di Cicco
at Hinman &

can provide a
third option by
providing customized legal
documents for
your rentals to
help you manage your properties yourself.
Whether you
have 1 property or 100,
creating a firm
legal footing
for your Landlord/Tenant
relationship is the most important part to collecting
rent, enforcing rules, and if
necessary, evicting a tenant
and collecting for back rent
and damages.
Make your solo or small
portfolio rental business
more efficient!
Lucia Di Cicco, an IACS
Board member and member of the Italian-American
Chamber of Commerce,
has seen what poor preparation of Rental Applications, Leases, Checklists,
and Landlord Letters can do
to a Landlord without legal
footing. Work with Hinman

to create the
right relationship with your
Tenant from
the start to ensure a successful, profitable,
and worry free
rental business.

Bill’s
Corner
Sorry I missed you last month
but we have a deadline and
that applies to everyone – even
me…
Yes, Spring has officially begun but Mother Nature has
been very good to us throughout this “winter season”- it has
almost been a non-winter (for
Detroit) winter – if that is possible.
Bill Morelli
I am happy to report that the
Banquet Center has been very
busy – even in these “slow
months” of January and February and March. For the first
time since I have been here
we are turning away business
because several of our events
were SOLD OUT! Ladies
Night was a huge success as
was our first Feast of St. Joseph. In both cases we had
more people than we expected
and they all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. At the Feast
of St. Joseph, it was an honor
to have Fr. Pino from Holy
Family Church and our IACS
Chaplain - Fr. Gattari as the
Celebrants. Thanks to both of
you for all your blessings.
Our Lenten Fish Event has
also had larger than expected
turn outs. Our first week was
close to one hundred guests
and the numbers have grown
PAGE 11
from there. If this continues
to grow, we are going to need
to expand our dining area to
make enough room for everyone.
for An Evening with the Masters – on April 26th. Come that
evening and learn all about the
legendary artists from Italy
and the rest of Europe.
Don’t forget to make your
reservations for our fantastic
Easter Brunch on April 8th
complete with a big variety
of foodstuffs and the Easter
Bunny. Bring your family and
forget the mess – enjoy our
food without the prep or the
clean-up.
Our standard events – Members Night, Over 50’s Dance,
the IACS Seniors’ Club and
many of the other special
events continue to show strong
support and we are pleased to
say that YOUR Cultural Center is healthy and growing
more and more each day.
We are expecting a possible
sellout for our combined effort
with the Detroit Institute of
Arts as we co- host with them
Remember, it is YOUR Cultural Center – Use it and be
proud of your heritage.
Ciao

Chef’s Corner
By Chef Daniel Lowry,
Chief Consultant, IACS
Frittata and Omelet History
I have been asked many
times what’s the difference
between an omelet and
Fritatta? My answer, truth
to be told, the fritatta most
likely preceded the omelet.
What could be easier than
mixing vegetables or leftover
cooked meats into eggs,
scrambled into a breakfast,
lunch or dinner. Rather like
a savory custard pie, it just
made sense to make use of
the protein in eggs as a meat
substitute to add depth and
substance to vegetables. The
word omelet comes from the
Roman epicure Apicius, who
called his dish “overmele”,
which was made from eggs
with honey and pepper. The
French are most noted for
their omelettes.
Frittatas are a great meal-ina-dish; this recipe is loaded
with mushrooms, potatoes,
asparagus, and tomatoes,
plenty of vegetables along
with bacon and parmesan
cheese.
APRIL 2012
Another question I am
asked, “How do you cook a
hard-boiled egg properly,”
Believe it Or not, there is an
art to cooking eggs in a shell.
I will share my secrets for a
perfect Hard boiled egg or
soft boiled.
Hard or Soft Boiled Eggs
* Never boil eggs it makes them rubbery
* Use older eggs, fresh one will not peel properly.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Place eggs in a single layer saucepan.
Cover with at least one inch of cold water over tops of shells.
Cover pot with lid and bring to a boil over medium heat.
As soon as the water comes to a full boil, remove from heat and let
stand.
Large soft-cooked eggs: let stand in hot water for 1 to 4 minutes,
depending on your tastes.
Large hard-cooked eggs; let stand in hot water 15 to 17 minutes.
Drain off hot water and cover them in cold water until cool enough to
handle for Soft Boiled Eggs.
Hard cooked eggs; let stand in cold water until completely cooled.
Asparagus, Mushroom, and Tomato Fritatta Recipe
Ingredients:
6 eggs
Prep Time: 10 minutes
6 egg whites
Cook Time: 30 minutes
½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
Yeild: 6 servings
½ teaspoon Black Pepper ground
½ cup sliced basil leaves
2 Tablespoons oil
1 small diced onion
6 sliced turkey bacon diced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup cooked potato, sliced
½ pound asparagus trimmed cut into 1 ½ inch pieces
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together, egg whites, parmesan, pepper
and basil; Heat 1-tablespoon olive oil in a 10” cast iron skillet or in an oven
safe pan that can cook in the oven over medium high heat. Add the onions
and cook, stirring until soft and slightly golden brown. 7 to 9 minutes.
Add the turkey bacon, cook until crisp 4 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms
and cook until softened. Add the asparagus, potatoes and tomatoes; cook
another 2 minutes until the asparagus soften.
Add the egg mixture to the pan. Cook until the egg just begins to set 3 to
4 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and baked until the top is lightly
brown and the eggs are fully set. Approx. 11 to 12 minutes. Remove from
oven and let cool slightly. Cut into wedges.
