Restoration Karen Gagliano 569-6249 Kenny Kraemer 986-0274 Message from the President Ciao a Tutti I would like to start by wising everyone a very Happy Valentine’s Day! Last month was not too exciting because we were all tired from that great NYE party but we did manage to put on “Latin Night” which was a huge success. Thank you to JoAnn, Frank, Joe, Mary, Karen, Dominick, Mike, Joe, Lou, Kenny and Donna our beer girl for making the night even more exciting. The Board and I also want to thank all the members who came the Friday night before that was also a banner night. This month has some fantastic events starting with “Dance Fever” Saturday 2/03. A classic Disco night with some very special guests. Tickets are still available. “Carnevale di Venezia” Saturday 2/10 teaming together with our Heritage family making some very special dishes. This is almost sold out, so you better not snooze or you will lose lol. Pub Night this month, Saturday 2/24 features a new live band Sub-Jammer they are out of Jacksonville and play everything. Please visit their website and check them out so you can hear them live. I know all of you will love this band. Tickets are 10.00 at the door and include a free appetizer buffet. Hope all of you will attend. On to Club business. First, I would like you all to know that our Chef Anthony has decided to resign because of personal reasons. On the good side, our new Chef is Michael better known as the sous chef who has learned a lot from Anthony and is ready for the challenge. He has been cooking for you for the past month and his food is delicious. Let us all welcome him to his new and well-deserved position. The floor and the hallway in the kitchen has been painted up to code. There are a few appliances that we are going to have to change out soon but that’s why we have the Building fund and we all want to thank you for your support. The Board would like to thank Joe Abitante and Annmarie for the 1700.00 check and to the members who donated another 100.00 from the cruise they all took in October. Great gift to the Club. On a sad note, we lost one of our dearest family member Terry Kent. Please pray for Don and his family. We all need many prayers when this happens. Also please keep in your prayers all of our members that are ill and need a fast recovery. The Board and I just want to say how thankful we are for all of you who support the club because “WE ARE THE BEST CLUB ON THE STRIP & THIS IS OUR CLUB AND OUR FAMILY” Grazie a Tutti Chuck Buglione, President Italian American Club of Palm Coast 01 Dorothy Daly 11 Jane DeGoveia 25 Adam Gronczenski 02 Janet Kinser 11 Richard Moffitt 26 Charles Schram27 Frank 02 Don Velardi 11 John Peay Kaminski 03 Edward Earls 12 Brian Bender 27 JoAnn Lilla 03 George Ungaro 13 Barbara Gagnon 27 Angelina Noia 04 Donna DiAngelo 14 Victor Acocella 27 Edward Kazmierskii 04 Ron Mitchell 14 Ruthie Labno 27 Gary Paterno 05 Lucille O’Day 14 Elma Maldonado 28 Antonio Bellavia 05 Veronica Venus 17 Brenda Gerber 28 Nicholas Mondello 05 Carol Vigilante 18 Marie Luke 28 Peter Loglisci 06 Brian Bender 18 Ronald McEwen 28 Kathleen McGann 06 Richard Franco 18 Jan VanBuran 07 Philip Anninos 19 Frank Jasento 07 Sandra Garcia 19 Calogero Marullo 08 Herman Gutierrez 19 Lenny DeRois 09 Frank Hanna 19 William Trahman 09 Diane Nieminen 19 Paul Sare 09 Joan Dorbot 20 Nancy Persichilli 10 Charles Buglione 22 Eva Alge 10 Dimitrios Kokklas 22 Dick Christie 10 Lydia Paterno 22 Janet Pollinger 11 Lillian Catoggio 23 Patricia Rizzo 11 Terry Kiernan 23 Rosanne BiBlasi 24 David Risch 01 Greg & Linda Hansen 13 Victor & Harriette Acocella 24 Jerry & Virginia Esposito 01 Alex & MaryAnn Landolina 13 Charles & Judith Kumle 24 Leo & Donna-Marie Thompson 08 Theodore & Marya Frask 14 John & Linda Casalo 27 Richard & Marina Cicchetti 11 Bruce & Susan DeGraaf 14 Adam/Patricia Gronczenski 11 George & Phyllis Sullivan 14 Scott & Julia Parkstrom 12 Barry & Joann Hester 23 Joseph & Nancy Benneducci 23 George & Mickey Logemann 23 Harry & Karen Williams 23 Brian & Irena Dobis February 2018 2018 Band Schedule April 2018 2/2 Traces of Gold March 2018 2/3 Disco Fever DS 4/6 Frank Saffi 2/9 Frank Saffi 3/2 Debbie & Tony 4/13 Phil Farino 3/4 Johnny Pettillo DS 4/14 Great American Voices 2/10 Phil Farino DD 2/16 Tim Rippey 3/9 Carl Monte DS 2/23 Phil Farino 3/10 Phil Farino DD 4/20 Debbie& Tony 2/24 Sun Jammer 3/16 Frank Saffi 4/21 Tito Pub Night “Pub Night 3/23 Tim Rippey 4/27 Tim Rippey 3/30 Phil Farino 3/31 Soul Fire Pub Night Health and Welfare – February Reporting 2018 (For January 2018) Sympathy: Don Kent for his beloved “Terry” Get Well To: None reported this Month Please notify Joe Abitante, Chaplin at 386-597-7023 to keep our club informed on the Health and Welfare of our members IASCPC MEMBER SHIP MEETING MINUTES – January 17, 2018 1.
