Dear Fellow Members,
Monday, September 5th
CLUB & BANQUET CENTER CLOSED –
LABOR DAY
As we harvest red tomatoes from our gardens
and the children return to school, we are as busy
as ever here at the IACL. Our banquet center
continues to prosper, and members are using the
clubhouse and enjoying our outdoor patio. Even
the outdoor bocce courts are getting regular use.
All in all it’s been a great year so far.

We need to build upon our success not simply look back and smile.
Our club is only as great as its members. I would like to take this
opportunity to ask all of you to set aside an afternoon and evening to
support our club and enjoy a VERY special Columbus Day Celebration
on October 9th. This year we celebrate the Italian heritage of the great
Christopher Columbus with an outstanding line up of food stations and
entertainment. Bring the family. Bring friends. Come out and enjoy this
truly special event.
Also be sure to save the date for the 2nd Annual IACL Fashion Show
on October 23rd. This year’s event will be wonderful and is sure to sell
out quickly.
So until next time, come out and enjoy the club by making new friends
and long lasting memories.
Ciao for now!
As always, I can be reached via email
at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Jerry Ruggirello, IACL President

ACCORDING TO ARTICLE XII SECTION 1 AMENDMENTS READS:
Amendments to the constitution and/or By Laws of the Club shall be made only on the
recommendation of the Board of Directors and the approval of two-thirds of the members
present at a meeting of the general membership.
The following change to the Constitution of the Italian American Club of Livonia will be
brought before the general membership of the Club at the Annual meeting scheduled for
Tuesday, October 18, 2016.
CURRENT CONSTITUTION – ARTICLE III, SECTION 4 (Membership) reads as follows:
In the case of death or divorce of a lifetime member, where the spouse is not of Italian descent, the
non-Italian spouse becomes an Honarary Lifetime Member, effective as of the date of the divorce
decree or death, as applicable. In the event the non-Italian spouse remarries a person who is not
Italian, he or she retains his/her honorary membership, but the new spouse and his or her Family
are not considered to be “eligible family members” as that term is defined in Article III, Section 6. If
the non-Italian spouse remarries a person of Italian decent, the new spouse can apply for a Lifetime
Membership at a reduced rate of 50% percent of the then applicable rate.
PROPOSED CHANGE – ARTICLE III, SECTION 4 (Membership):
In the case of death or divorce of a lifetime member, where the spouse is not of Italian descent,
the non-Italian spouse retains his/her full Lifetime Membership with all rights and privileges,
effective as of the date of the divorce decree or death, as applicable. In the event the non-Italian
spouse remarries a person who is not Italian, he or she retains his/her full Lifetime Membership,
but the new spouse and his or her Family are not considered to be “eligible family members” as
that term is defined in Article III, Section 6. If the non-Italian spouse remarries a person of Italian
decent, the new spouse can apply for a Lifetime Membership at a reduced rate of 50% percent of
the then applicable rate.
BACKGROUND:
The Italian American Club of Livonia is currently made up of members of Italian ancestry and their
families, many of the spouses of members are not of Italian ancestry but have served the club for
many years and donated their time and services to the club over these years. These non Italian
members have full voting rights and all the privileges for as long as they are married to the Italian
member. Most of these members are Lifetime Members. Upon divorce or death of the Italian
lifetime member, the non Italian lifetime member is reduced to an Honarary Member and loses all
voting rights within the club. Many of these non Italian lifetime members have served in positions
that determined the direction and focus of the club as well as providing both financial and physical
assistance on various committees and the Board of Directors. These members were not born
Italian but are Italian by choice often giving of more of themselves than their Italian spouses. I feel it
is not only a disservice to these members but to the club to cast these people and their ideas aside
just because they no longer have an Italian spouse. I therefore would like to submit to the Board
the preceding amendment to the Constitution/bylaws of The Italian American Club of Livonia.

Gino Fortuna
2016 IACL
ITALIAN OF THE YEAR
Gino Fortuna was born 1953 in the city of Arpino, Province of Frosinone, Lazio Region, Italy to Marco and Maria
(Viscogliosi) Fortuna. For the first six years of his life, Gino was raised by his grandparents, Loreto and Catarina
Viscogliosi, while his parents operated the family store in Arpino. He loved growing up with his grandparents,
aunts, uncles and large extended family on the farm with the horses, cows, sheep and chickens. He enjoyed being
outdoors and up in the beautiful mountains surrounding their town.
At the age of 15, Gino immigrated to the United States accompanied by his grandfather. He arrived to join his parents along with his siblings, Paul, Mafalda (Soave), Gaetano and Gabriella who had immigrated earlier in order to
create a better life for the family.
Initially the family lived in Garden City, but ultimately settled in the Livonia area. Gino worked with his siblings in
their family businesses throughout the years and assisted his parents with many of the household duties including
caring for their large vegetable garden, fruit trees and flowers.
Gino has been an honorary member of our club since 2006. Not only has he been employed by our banquet
center, he also enjoys attending the many events at our club. Our club has become like a second home to him
and he loves many of our members as family. If you are an active member, I’m sure you have seen Gino helping
out around our club whether it be setting up for the pasta buffet dinners, cleaning up after our events and even
watering the flowers outside. If anyone ever needs help, Gino is always there to lend a helping hand with a big
smile on his face.
Gino’s other passions are his family and his church, St. Edith, where he is an usher and a member of the Knights
of Columbus. When not attending events or working at the club he is either attending mass at St. Edith or one
of the many family events with his brothers, sister and his many nieces and nephews. Gino also enjoys going for
walks and bike riding.
He recently went back to visit family in Italy last year and is looking forward to returning on another trip soon.
GINO WILL BE HONORED ON OCTOBER 9TH DURING THE COLUMBUS DAY CELEBRATION!
