There was a Columbus Day parade downtown in Cleveland, and it seemed to move to Little Italy in 1924 and has enjoyed festivities and the people here ever since. Joe enjoys meeting new friends because as he says, “At my age, I need new friends.” You may even recognize Joe as you attend various events in Little Italy. Joe turned 99 in November and looks forward to many more celebrations in Cleveland. Joe sends his best wishes to everyone on Columbus Day. If you’re looking for Joe, he’s lived on farmland in Chesterland since 1958. We anticipate Joe’s century of experiences next year with great joy. October Clambake a Huge Success 2013 Club Officers ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? Proceeds from this fundraising event will go for scholarships and other deserving charities Americans of Italian Heritage Charities SUPER BOWL PARTY Super Bowl Sunday, February 2, 2014 We would like to thank Vince Pona and Jerry LaCorte for organizing and tracking the all the requests we received to attend the clambake. In addition we would like to commend George Judy, our Sargent-at-Arms who kept order as all our members and their wives and guests came in and helped distribute the tickets to the attendees. We had 95 guests this year which was a 15% increase over last year’s attendance and our largest group for this event. An event this size is not successful without the help of Dino’s management staff, the kitchen crew, and the waitresses. Thank you all for making this a great event again.
