Message from the President Ciao a tutti Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to all of you. I hope it was a happy and blessed day with family, friends and loved ones. December turned out to be a very busy month for us with all of the Christmas parties. A very warm and special thanks to Liz Piettro who brings all these parties together from beginning to the end. The Board and I really appreciate everything you do for this club. We also had our Christmas Dance and it was just perfect. Thanks go out to Mickey and her crew for doing a fantastic job as usual. The room looked beautiful and was filled with holiday spirit. I would also like to thank my Board and their spouses for volunteering at the employee Christmas Party. We all had a great time and it showed we really appreciate all of our employees. The Club has a big month coming in for the New Year starting with New Years Eve, what an exciting night that’s gonna be. It is sold out. The next event is the Texas Hold em Tournament on the 10th Of January. I’m sure a lot of our members will be there. Then on the 17th of January, it’s Night at the Races. Please go out and get your tickets for this night. I have been to several of these and have won some money. So come out and bet on your favorite horse. The price includes a 2 hour open bar and dinner. You can’t go wrong here! On the 24th Of January is our variety show, Putting on the Ritz. Lots of entertainment and fun. I’m told this is almost sold out so see if you can join us here. Our last event for the month is my favorite. It’s our Saturday Pub Night in the main room with Beach St. A Go Go. If you haven’t been to any of these you really need to come. This is a full band that plays all the great songs of the 60’s & 70’s. They were here last month and packed the house. Feel free to dress up in your favorite 60’s or 70’s outfit. Right on and Peace out! (Can’t believe I used to talk that way lol) Its halfway through my presidency and there is still a lot of work to do in this club and I’m asking all of you, if you have some time to volunteer, please let us know. The club is always in need of help. I welcome all of you. And on that note, I would like to welcome all of our new members to the best club on the strip. I hope to see all of you at our next General Membership Meeting night. There are a few by-law changes that need to be voted on and we can’t do that unless we have a quorum of 75 regular members so please help us out. The next Board Meeting is January 8 and the General Meeting is January 21. On a sad note, I would like all of you to pray for the families of June Muchtin and Maxine Jastremski. Maxine used to be a bartender here and also a long time member. Both of these women were very special and aren’t suffering anymore. Rest in peace Maxine and June. Happy New Year To all of you, be safe and remember “THIS IS OUR CLUB AND OUR FAMILY”. My door is always open!

The Italian American Club Social and Heritage Committees Present Carnevale de Venezia CARNEVALE The Carnevale festival derives from an ancient Latin feast called Lupercalia, a festival held around 15th of February before the coming of Christianity. The feast was in honor of Lupa, the she-wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus, the mythical founders of ancient Rome. The priests, luperci (brothers of the wolf) conducted a ceremony dressed in goatskins. The feast began with the sacrifice of a dog and two goats. After the sacrificial rite, two priests approached an altar where another priest took the knife used to kill the dog and goats, and anointed their foreheads with the bloody knife. The anointer then took a wool cloth, dipped in milk, and wiped their foreheads and the knife. After the cleaning of the forehead, the continuing ritual required the two priests to smile and laugh. Following that, the priests cut thongs of skin (called februa) of the animals slain and ran along the city walls waving the februa. Spectators would position themselves close enough for the flailing februa to strike them. This ritual, many believed, would drive away evil spirits, ensure fertility in young girls, and young women, prevent sterility and relieve the pains of child-birthing. It is interesting to note, at this point, that the month of February received its name from februa, and carnevale from the Latin carnelevarum, to remove the meat. The English word is carnival, in Italian it is carnevale and pronounced car–nay- vah-lay. This ritual continued until 494 A.D. when Pope Gelasius did away with the februa rite and replaced it with a Christian ceremony of purification and sacrifice (lent). However, the festivities prior to lent spread through the Roman Catholic world. Lent is a time of sacrifice and many interpreted the Latin word above as meat free. Carnevale was mainly a Roman feast however, over time Venice became a city renowned for its celebrations. There, a unique cultural phenomenon developed, i.e. the rich people of the city randomly throughout the year wore masks while engaging in questionable behavior. The Signoria, the city council, frowned upon these behaviors and passed laws restricting the times during the year for the wearing of disguises. These were allowed between December 26 St. Stephen’s Day, on up to and including the day before the beginning of lent, Shrove Tuesday. Consequently, that day became a greater day of merriment and indulgence than those leading up to it. That Tuesday is known by many names, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Martedí Grasso, in Italian, Mardi Gras, in French, both Italian and French terms mean Fat Tuesday. Fat and meat, two major foods used before lent become taboo during the Lenten period. Shrove is an old English word meaning to obtain absolution. Among many Englishspeaking countries, it is also known as Pancake Day, the last day to cook pancakes since pancakes are cooked using fat. Members of the poorer classes also wore masks, allowing them to mix freely with aristocrats. The mask was a great equalizer for revelry. Today many consider Venice a leader in celebrating Carnevale; however, two other cities are renowned for their celebrations, Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans. While traveling in Venice my wife and I inquired about the activities of Carnevale and we learned that, the music for it, is Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. The main festivities take place in St. Mark’s square. The activities consist of parades of people in costumes, individuals performing acrobatics; there is dancing, dining, music, orators, and people engaging in varied antics. Our Heritage Committee sponsors a Carnevale and uses Venezia as its theme. It will be on February 14, 2015. Look about the club and you will find pictures displaying how people dress for the event. It is a costumed and formal affair; for those not wearing a costume the wearing of a mask is encouraged. Members of the Heritage Committee will dress in costumes and they invite everyone to join them.
