2018 Quarter 1FOGOLAR FURLAN WINDSOR
Caro Socio/Dear Member
The New Year 2018 has arrived and I hope it will
bring good fortune to all. Our Fogolar has had a
tremendous 2017. We had an increase in busi-
ness activity
to the tune of
almost three
hundred thou-
sand dollars
and our prof-
its increased
accordingly. I
wish to thank
our office
admin is t ra -
tion and the
Board of
Directors for
steering our
club to suc-
cess.
We now begin
the New Year with great expectations beginning
with our Wood Burning Pizza Oven Project to be
installed in our Members’ Bar area, the Fogolar
Annual Hunters Banquet on February 24, along
with the addition of a new Chef and new Assistant
Manager. We are going to be expanding our
Friday Night Restaurant offerings not only with the
wood burning pizza but also with exciting new
menus. We are constantly looking to improve the
environment of our Fogolar so stay tuned to all the
changes that will be coming this year. The Board
will need your support in order for these innova-
tions to be successful.
The Fogolar is looking for a volunteer for the posi-
tion of Sergeant at Arms to join the Board of
Directors who must be a member in good stand-
ing, and if interested, please contact any Board
member or the office and give your name and
contact phone num-

provided as to the
duties of this position
by contacting Cesare
Pecile at 519-796-

The Club is also look-
ing for someone to
assist in the compila-
tion of its newsletter
that we put out every
quarter. Again, please
contact the office or
any one of the Board
members for more
information.
I wish to thank all the volunteers for their past giv-
ing of their precious time in making our Club a
successful story in our community. We look for-
ward to continued support as well as inviting new
volunteers to join the force. We have many proj-
ects in the works and new ones coming on board
all the time, so we do need the member’s assis-
tance in completing such demands.
Grazie/Thanks to all for taking the time to read our
newsletter.

LA CHA A SI NAS – OGNI ERBE APASWHERE YOU ARE BORN -- EVERYGRASS IS PEACEFUL
ANGELO ZORZIT is a"CENTENARIAN" mem-ber of our Fogolar. I hadthe pleasure of visitingwith Angelo and his sonPeter along with anothermember Elio Ganzini dis-cussing the secret to hislongevity.
He was born in AzzanoDecimo on September16, 1917. At 5 years oldhis family moved to thesmall town of Villanovawhich was under theCommune of SanDaniele del Friul. Here, Angelolearned to speak the real Furlan lan-guage, and let me tellyou it was entertain-ing to hear him speak.
Drafted into the ItalianArmy in 1937, he wasassigned to the presti-gious division the"Bersaglieri", and sta-tioned in Torino, Italyand remained in Italythroughout WWII.
Angelo married his sweetheart fromSan Daniele, Italia Elizabeth Corva in1939, and from their loving marriageone son Peter was born, who is also amember of our Fogolar.
When the war ended, Angelo did avariety of work around San Danieleuntil he immigrated to Canada in1949, landed in Windsor and lived onHickory Road. Being a newly landedimmigrant, Angelo started to work ona farm for one year after which hefound work with Keystone Contractorsbuilding roads, one of which was the
Highway 401. This stint lasted for 17years until he started a new job withSommerville Industries as a mainte-nance mechanic, and that lasted for
an additional 13 years.
Angelo was an avidCatholic and went to St.Angela Merici Churchwhere the priest thereasked him to play in aband. He played alongwith Pieri Sovran and hisbrother Mario Sovranand a couple others.This was around 1950,and the only name hecould remember for theband was that it wascalled "The St. AngelaChurch Band". Angeloplayed the accordion
while Pieri played the drums. Heremembers that a fun time was had by
all.
At 62 years old,Angelo retired andbegan to take upwoodworking as ahobby and built hisown kitchen cabinetsand other woodenfurniture, one ofwhich is a master-piece, the"Grandfather Clock",
made and carved from red oak wood.He still makes his own wine "Merlot"of which I had a glass and wantedanother but I had to drive so I withheldthe enjoyment. We were served teaalong with chocolate chip cookies.How he knew those were my favouriteI will never know.
In closing, my time with Angelo thatafternoon I knew I just wasn't speak-ing with any ordinary individual, but Ispent time with a skilled tradesman,artist, musician and a man of manytalents, but also a "CENTENARIAN"
with volumes of historical memories.He lives alone and is still quite mobile,mentally alert, and has a lady thatcomes in and cleans the house on aregular basis.
Angelo says there is no secret to hislongevity other than the DNA passeddown from his parents, decent livingnever overdoing anything, and a posi-tive attitude towards life's trials. This Ican testify to because throughout thetime I spent with him "a jovial smile"always followed his conversation.
Bon Complean un poc in ritart.Grazie di cur Angelo.Cesare Pecile

countless hours, helping to prepare for
tournaments and galas at the Fogolar. He
also participated in all of them as a player,

would have been delighted and proud of
this achievement — we certainly are!
