DEAR YOUNG FRIENDS , . we are still very much under the influence of the summer holidays, well at least those who have had one, are. Those of us who didn't go on holiday obviously missed those dear friends and relatives we did not see. Now slowly we are getting back to normal. What I am trying to say is, that it isn't. as though we've been doing nothing up to now, but that a~ the return home begins by everyone, the Italian Community once again prepares itself to tackle forthcoming events. The official start of this new period in our lives starts on Sunday 7th Oc~ tober, with the 12.15 mass. This is the day dedicated to the FAIE, and consequently to all Italian Associations, a day when all Italians join together and think of Italy. Perhaps for those of you who are born and educated in this country, and in some way have found things in life prepared for you, it is hard to appreciate the full meaning of this reunion for your parents. But remember this: you are the nicest of things that the Italians have made in London. You are the real riches of your parents who have done, and who are doing everything just for you. Try to make them happy by coming 'with them on the 7th October to the 12;15 mass dedicat~d to the FAIE. 4 • • ---. ,~~. • •~ "1 Dinner , • •• presenting , 'S , , • RICETTE, .
