GOLF SPAGNOLLI BAZZONI ONLUS TOURNAMENT 11 JUNE 2015 Dear Friends, I am extremely happy to welcome you to our 14th annual Golf Tournament. It is a friendly gathering of people united by a common and worthy cause; to support our Charity in its efforts to help the sick and poor in developing countries. The willingness of our sponsors to help those in need has prevailed once again, and we are delighted to have you with us today! As you will hear in more detail during the event, our original project, the fight against AIDS, continues to be at the forefront of our work and this year we have taken advantage of improvements in the National Health Services of Zimbabwe. This has enabled us to extend our reach to have a far greater impact on an increased number of people in need. Our latest projects are: - The project for the early diagnosis and prevention of the cervical carcinoma. After 18 months of hard work, more than 10,000 women have been screened and 310 of them were found to have cancerous cells, they were promptly taken care of, thus saving their lives. - At the Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital, we started the Intensive Cardiac Therapy Unit and over 1,300 cardiac patients have been treated so far. For both of these projects, we are the first to extend these services free of charge. Additionally, we added three new classrooms to the school in St. Marcellino Village. This has allowed us to increase our capacity in the school, which we built only last year. As usual, we use the donations directed to us in such a way as to be of maximum benefit to the sick and poor, in areas where their needs are really important. We repeat our plea for your unwavering support for a very good cause! Thank you very much for being here!

PUBLIC AUCTION ITEMS 02/03/04 Venetian Beads by Cristal Boutique, Abano Terme The history of bead making in Venice goes back to the days of Marco Polo when he returned from his travels with the beads of Asia. Local artisans used their glass making skills to reproduce these stones in glass. These one-off, hand crafted pieces were made especially for our golf event. It is their ancient origin and their beauty (the fruit of this historic art), that makes them precious and sought after on every continent. The French writer and historian of the 18th Century, Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand wrote about the beads, after visiting Venice: “They spun before me, as time spins our fragile life, a thin rope of glass: it was of that glass that the bead was made…A Venetian hand has shaped the ornament.” Item 02 RESERVE: €200 Item 03 RESERVE: €400 Item 04 RESERVE: €350 SPAGNOLLI BAZZONI ONLUS GOLF TOURNAMENT 11 JUNE 2015 PUBLIC AUCTION PUBLIC AUCTION: Items 05 / 06 Amarone Della Valpolicella Amarone della Valpolicella is a rich, dry Italian red wine from the Veneto region.
