A Little Humor:
“If you want to inspire confidence, give plenty of statistics – it does not matter that they should be accurate, or even
intelligible, so long as there is enough of them.” Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), English author
(born1832, died 1898).
“Nothing is really real unless it happens on television.” Daniel J. Boorstin, educator and Librarian of Congress
(1914-2004).
Member News:
It is with great pleasure that we, Louie Scalzo, Frankie Schlemmer, and Lou Najamy are pleased to announce the
Pasta Night proceeds were used to purchase a new larger stove for our downstairs kitchen. It is through the
continued participation of several members, family and friends that we are able to save up enough money to
purchase not only flatware, pots, pans, and recently a six burner large oven stove. It was installed by your Pasta
guys with the help of Milan David. Please try to support Pasta Night by coming down and enjoying a great meal and
camaraderie. All moneys collected have been and will be used to upgrade our club’s kitchens without costing the
Club’s Treasury any money. Thanks again to all those who participate in Pasta Night..
This year Lebanon Day we will honor U.S. Veterans that served in Lebanon during the 1980’s. Our own club
member Commissioner of Connecticut Department of Veteran Affairs Thomas J. Saadi along with club member and
Lebanon Veteran Peter DeLucia are working with the Connecticut Veterans group to identify those vets who served
in Lebanon. They will be honored on Danbury’s Lebanon Day this year. More information to follow.
Health and Welfare:
Please keep in your prayers our ill members and/or their family members and wishing them speedy recovery
specially Elie Karam, Morey Samaha and Ernie Bourjaili. Please notify Pres. Mike Caravakis, whenever a member
falls seriously ill by sending an email to caravakis@aol.com.
We offer our sincere sympathy, condolences and prayers to the families on the passing
of our fellow Member Ed Jowdy Sr, Betty Lubus, Hani Assal brother of Adel Assal,
Theresa Basher (Shakro), Sister and Sister in Law of Phil Shakro and Norman Basher
respectively. May they all rest in eternal peace.
