Over 100 guests enjoyed a delicious meal cooked by Michele Gasparro & Alfonso De Pianto. Before the show started we had a 50/50 raffle which was won by women’s club president Roz Cantisani, who then donated a portion of her winnings back to the club. Thanks Roz. The entertainers were remarkable and the entire show was fantastic. Unexpected highlights to the show were 1st vice president Rich Vila, board member Larry Quirico, and the hilarious Vito Riggo, not to mention, Danny Riggio’s infectious laugh. If you were there you know what I’m talking about; If you weren’t you missed a great evening! Thanks to our bartenders Ralph Brignone & Larry Quirico.

It is truly appreciated. The very next day was our annual Mother’s day brunch headed by past president & current board member Art Parziale. The record crowd of over 175 guests enjoyed a variety of breakfast entrees. Helping Art cook were Michele Gasparro, Alfonso De Pianto, Angelo Marchi & Sally Acurso. At the bar Sante Missaggia served up his popular Ramos Fizz, as well as other drinks. Our wait staff was fantastic. We were all so busy I can’t remember everyone, so not to leave anyone out, let me say a big thank you to all of you. You really worked hard.

She was also the sister of one of our longest-standing members, Raymond Negri. Lena enjoyed making cookies for the children in their neighborhood. It was reported that George Barbero had been moved into a higher level of care facility, but hopes to be back soon. We sent a birthday card to Art Bertolero. I apologize that my reports have been shorter. We are nearing the end of our home remodel, and the demands on my time and energy have 2015 [email protected] been taxing. Be sure to call or email me if you have any news about our members. We are glad to see you at the club, but if you cannot make it, it is always good to hear from you!

Specifically we sold 18,600 square feet for $1,680,000 to Eric Manou, of Manou Design Group, a local real estate developer. Eric is planning to construct 15 freestanding residential units along with a parking lot that will be adjacent to our parking space on our western side. From the proceeds, $1,312,000 in debt that was secured by the property was repaid. We are currently negotiating with the Ligure Club to roll over the $500,000 they received from the property sale into a fully amortizing note. Once this negotiation is completed, we will be in the position to significantly reduce the remaining monies owed to our members and friends who originally helped us acquire the property in March 2006. We should be in a position to announce this plan within the next 60 days. The Board of Directors is actively discussing development plans for the remaining 12,400 square feet that we own directly west of our building. In addition to the approximately 35 parking spaces, the development plans will include a reconfiguration of the “garden/bocce courts/service area” that will meet the needs of our membership. Please stay abreast of these plans by attending our membership meetings where we will discuss the specific plans. In the meantime, we will strive to keep all informed of any temporary adjustments that we might have to make to our parking area on the west side as Eric begins the development of his new project.
