1 PUBLISHED BY CELLINI LODGE NO ORDER SONS OF ITALY IN AMERICA CELLINI NEWS VOLUME 47 MARCH 2015 NUMBER 3 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Caro Fratelli e Sorelle di Cellini, First let me say what an honor it is for me to have been elected Cellini s 26 th President. I will promise you all that I will always strive to make you and Cellini proud. I am so lucky to have a long line of distinguished and active past presidents that I know I can always rely on to guide me during my term. My first event as your new President will be on Saturday, March 14 th as we host St. Joseph s Night at Clinton Martin Park. Please mark your calendars and try to attend and support not only this but all of our events. If you have not already done so, please contact Teresa Tallini and Maria D Urso to reserve your seat to St. Joseph s Night. Next let me thank Vincent Illuzzi for his exemplary dedication to Cellini Lodge. I would like to extend a big thank you to Vincent and all the outgoing officers for all their hard work and dedication they have shown to Cellini. I have had the privilege of working with all of you at one time or another and I am happy to say Cellini is lucky to have you all. Next our unsung hero, our former First Lady Stephanie Illuzzi, thank you for sharing Vincent with us! I m sure things weren t always easy with the crazy schedule the President maintains, so thank you for all your patience, help and understanding. Congratulations to all of the incoming officers. Your dedication to lodge is very commendable. I am so honored to have such a wonderful group of officers that I will have the honor of working with. We have a great group and together I am positive that we can continue the high standard of leadership that Cellini has always deserved and expected. I have always said in my Feast reports that is so easy to sit back and have someone else do it, but stand and say I ll do it! says a lot about your character. I look forward to working with all of you. Installations of Officers have begun throughout the Order, better known as March Madness. Cellini Lodge will be one of the first on Sunday, March 8 th. On March 27 th Cellini Charitable Foundation hosts our most important fundraiser of the year: our Scholarship Dinner Dance at the Chateau Briand, Our honoree will be our own Immediate Past President, Vincent R. Illuzzi. Please make every effort to attend and show your support. Please contact Gina Ferrara and reserve your seat at our Dinner Dance. Not only should you attend to show your appreciation to our honoree, but remember our children and future generations will benefit from this event as it raises money for scholarships. Always remember to keep in your prayers all our Members who are ill and recovering. Please also pray for the Como and Antonacci families who have recently lost a love one, and for all our members who have lost a member in their families. Cellini s sympathies are with you all. Most presidents before me have chosen a slogan s that they use during their presidency. I have thought long and hard about this. My presidential slogan will be: Orgoglio in Eredita Porta Unita Translated means: Pride and Heritage brings Unity! Sincerely, Alfonso Squillante Alfonso Squillante, President Cellini Lodge # th Anniversary Year 2015
