Restoration Kenny Kraemer 986-0274 Italian American Club of Palm Coast Message from the President Members August seems to have flown by! To recap some of the fun we had this month, I’ll start with our Luau dinner dance on the 11th. Chef Mike and Sous Chef Lou prepared a delicious meal, our servers and bartenders did their usual terrific job and Tim Rippey provided beautiful music. Many thanks to our awesome Social ladies and all the volunteers that made this and all our dances such a night to remember! Tickets for September’s dinner dance, Prohibition, are selling now. You won’t want to miss it! Speaking of awesome volunteers, our August Pub Night with Tito was a huge success! Our entire ballroom was reserved BEFORE we opened the doors Saturday night and we found ourselves having to turn people away. We’ve worked out some bugs to make the lines shorter and everything went very smoothly. We had a fun; happy crowd and I can’t thank our volunteers enough for helping to make it a great event! Tito will be back on October 27th, our annual Halloween Pub Night, so mark your calendar and watch for reservation sales to being in a few weeks. On September 22nd, we have the always popular Soul Fire back on stage! Call the office 9am – 3pm to reserve your favorite table. If you don’t plan to attend, maybe you would consider being a volunteer? Contact our social ladies or the office for more information on how you can get involved. Tuesdays have picked up but we still want to see more of you. If you haven’t witnessed out karaoke talent, you don’t know what you’re missing! In September, due to two Tuesday nights of Texas Hold’em tournaments, we won’t have line dancing but Jenny will be here on the 4th and 25th. See our calendar on the last page of this newsletter for specific dates. Looking ahead, we are seeking to line up all our local talent for our January dinner dance. Sign up in the office or let our social ladies know you’ll showing off your skills! As I mention every month, I love this club and I am so proud to be your president. I have met so many wonderful people here and look forward to being here on Tuesday and Friday nights to spend time with my IA family. Your hard-working board of directors has really stepped up to keep our club running smoothly and their support means so much to me. Prayers go out to our members who have suffered illness and loss. Please, if you know a member who is hospitalized, ill or has had a loss, let us know so we can acknowledge them.
