Buona Festa della Mam-
ma Happy Mothers Day!
MAMMA
Mamma, la prima parola che le
nostre labra hanno pronunciato dal
momento che si nasce al momento
che si spira. La mamma e’ la perso-
na piu’ bella del mondo.
E’ come un albero, ti da’ I suoi
frutti.
E’ come un fiume. Ti da’ la sua
acqua.
Ha un cuore grande, Ti da’ tutto il
suo amore
Rispetta La e AmaLa la tua mamma,
perche’ di mamma ce n’e’ una sola.
Auguri mamme!
E, se, la mamma e’ in compagnia
degli angeli, visitaLa al cimitero e
portaLe una rosa!
TRANSLATION
Mamma, the first word that our lips
pronounce from the moment of
birth to the moment of death.
Mamma is the most beautiful per-
son in the world. She is like a tree
giving you its fruit. She is like a
stream giving you its water. She
has huge heart giving you all of her
love. Respect her and love your
mamma, because there is only
one.
Best wishes Mothers! And, if
mamma is in the company of the
angels, visit her at the cemetery
and bring her a rose!
MEET AND GREET
SAVE THE DATE
If you haven’t already done so,
please circle Wednesday, May 23

Shirley Maloney has agreed to
chair our second annual “Meet and
Greet” with Vicky (Piccione) So-
beck and Marlene (Sparapani) Fei-
ra as her “understudies.”
Watch for a special invitation
which will include the specifics.
Uncle Sal wants YOU!
Due to the resignation of two long
time, hardworking members of our
club board of directors, we are in
need of two new members to fill
their positions.
The current board, are asking you
to consider nominating yourself
for one of these positions and/or
to nominate someone that you
think would serve Club ItaloAmeri-
cano well in one of those spots. If,
however, you wish to nominate

someone other than yourself, please ask
their permission to do so before sub-
mitting his or her name.
Our 13-member board regularly meets on
the third Thursday of each month at
Luigi’s Italian Bistro on Manitowoc Road
at 5:30 PM with the option of eating to-
gether after the meeting.
The board has the responsibility of run-
ning the day-to-day business of the club
and, as you know, we recruit other mem-
bers to help plan and execute the activi-
ties. Since many hands make light work,
none of us is overburdened and we have a
lot of fun in the process. And, since all of
us lead busy lives, it is understood that
not everyone can make every meeting.
Please give this invitation some serious
thought and if you are interested and
willing to contribute in this way, and we
hope you will.
Please submit names for nomination to:

thrown into turmoil as they race to ac-
complish the nuptials in one frenzied
afternoon.
Shows run from May 11th thru the 20th.

SUMMER PASSEGGIATE s-o-s
PLEASE VOLUNTEER!
It’s April 14 and, as I’m writing this, we’re
in the midst of a brutal, freakish winter
storm! But, believe it or not, the calendar
says its SPRING and, therefore, time to
make plans for our 3 summer passeggiate
(evening strolls).
Dan Brunmeier and Nancy Korman have
stepped up to the plate and have volun-
teered to organize one in either July or
August. Paul Marino and Collette Arkens
have chaired several in the past few years
and are willing to plan another this year.
They have chosen the month of Septem-
ber for their passeggiata.
At this point, we need a person(s) to fill in
the third spot. To volunteer, please call
Marlene (Sparapani) Feira at 494-9641 or
email her at: [email protected].
We will help you get started.
WALK BRAVE, WALK STRONG
Back in November, 2017, we had sched-
uled a review on Sylvia Rauzi McElroy’s
book “Walk Brave, Walk Strong.” Unfor-
tunately, it had to be cancelled, but we
are hoping to reschedule.
Many of you asked where the book could
be purchased. Here is the link to purchase
from third party sellers:

needs extra time, please contact President

The next Board meeting will be on Thurs-
