A Message From President Marian Pardo
1/6/2021 8:58:36 AM
Ciao amici,
Who would have thought that that old scout song would practically become our National Anthem? Indeed who does know when we’ll be all together again?
But we do know we are closer to being all together again than we have been for many months.
Yet despite our separation, our Members have pulled together to maintain our momentum.
You all know about our spectacular virtual parade and the work of those committees, but let us praise both the Ladies Auxiliary and the Young Adults. Both are dependent on in-person events but both found imaginative ways to continue their work. Under Antonia Calabro’s leadership, the Ladies Auxilliary more than raised the balance of their scholarship commitment and the YAA, under Anthony Zampolin, raised money for PPE for one of our local hospitals. Kudos to them and all of our Members who keep our spirit going.
Given our successes during the pandemic, we will surely soar when our physical doors reopen. Not only will we have a spectacular event planned to celebrate our reopening but all members will have until December 31, 2021, to use all unused minimums from calendar years 2020 and 2021.
Looking ahead we have an incredible Grand Marshal lined up and we hope to see everyone in person at the 2021 Columbus Day Parade and Weekend.
Yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel, but don’t let it blind you to some still tough times. Stay well, participate in the virtual events we have planned and remember in fraternity and philanthropy, “we will be all together again” before we know it.
My warmest good wishes to you all for a healthy happy 2021
Marian U Pardo, President
