Bob Bartels presiding Henny Wallitsch at the bell, 10 count, Pledge of Allegiance. .

Talk tonight of the 50th anniversary party, of which around next year. Getting Corporate sponsors were the issue, and putting it on in the city seemed to be the venue the brass is looking for, possibly Cipriani’s or a venue similar. Question is – a goal should be established, timeframe and date should be in view, whereas goals could be met.

Fundraising: Napoli, Wallitsch, Mazzerella.
Publicity: Nick and Pete Spanakos. J Monteverde, Bobby Cassidy.
Helping Hand Committee: Bill Tate, Matt Farrago, Joe Dwyer
Dinner Committee: Lou, Ron Ross, Matt Farrago, Paulette, Henny, Bob Duffy.

Tidbits. Tony Nap seems to have lost his table. The corner table is no longer at Ring 8 meetings. Thanks to Bill Tate and the Teamsters, who brought out generous donations to the Kid Gavilan Fund. Also a helping hand came from all across America, many thanks. Summertime is here. Next meeting scheduled for September.
