PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Cari Soci,
Q u e s t a
é
l’ultima lettera per il 2009.
Il freddo non si é fatto
ancora sentire, peró, presto
sará fra noi. Con l’arrivo
dell’ autunno si presenta il
problema delle foglie. I
giardini sono sempre ben
curati durante l’estate,
peró in questo periodo
hanno bisogno di maggior
manodopera. Alcuni anni fá
ci si riuniva, in un specifico
giorno, per raccogliere le
foglie e fare pulizie prima
d e l l ’ a r r i v o
dell’inverno.
Ebbene se
qualcuno é volenteroso d’
aiutare in questo compito,
per favore contattate il
Club.
Come
sarete
a
conoscenza , Io non ero
presente all’assemblea d’
ottobre. Al mio ritorno, con
piacere, ho constatato che
tanti volontari si sono
candidati per far parte del
prossimo Direttivo. Voglio
ricordarvi
che
all’assemblea di novembre,
la vostra presenza sará
molto importante, per
assicurare che la miglior
persona qualificata, nella
rispett iv a
car ica,
vi
rappresenti e che
vostro voto conti.

il
Neglí ultimi tre mesi
siamo stati fortunati
d’aver ospitato visitatori
da diverse localitá. Il
Coro del Caruso Club di
Sudbury, si é fermato
per due giorni. É stato
un bel ritrovo. Il nostro
gruppo di Alpini ha
organizzato una gita a
Toronto per partecipare al
Congresso degli Alpini.
Due giorni dopo, abbiamo
avuto l’onore d’ospitare un
coro Italiano, formato da 50
giovani alpini. É stata una
meravigliosa serata. Il
giorno seguente, sono stati
portati
a
visitare
l’arena WFCU della quale,
sono rimasti felicemente
stupiti e dove al
centro della pista
ghiacciata hanno
c a n t a t o
3
commoventi canti.
In seguito sono
stati
portati
a
visitare La cantina
“Colio Wines” dove
é stato loro offerta
una
deliziosa
grigliata.
Un
ringraziamento
é
dovuto a l Presidente degli
Alpini Vittorino Morasset ed
il suo comitato. Alcuni
giorni dopo, ancora da
Vittorino Morasset e la
moglie June, é stata
organizzata una bella
serata .
Vittorino é il

hanno partecipato e
dedicato la loro energia ed

FAMILY SKATE
Our annual Family Skate is
being held this year on
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
at WFCU Centre (Windsor

6:15 - 7:15pm. We’re trying an
evening skate so that all those
parents and members who
haven’t been able to attend in
the past when the skate was
held during the day can attend.
It’s a great way to get out with
the kids during the holidays and
learn to skate. We’re also
encouraging everyone to come
back to the Fogolar and enjoy a
tasty pizza in the member’s bar.
Hope to see you there.

Dear Members,
particular position.
This will be my last letter for this year. The way
I see it, the cold weather is not here as of yet.
However, it will be here sooner than we think.
With the onset of autumn, there is always the
ongoing problem with the leaves. The property
always looks good in the summer; however at
this time more maintenance is required. A few
years ago, we would get together on a certain
day and do a fall cleanup. I would like to ask if
there is anyone interested in doing this again.
If so, please contact the club.
In the last three months we were fortunate to
have some visitors from various locations.
The choir from the Caruso Club from Sudbury
were here for two days. It was a very
pleasant get together. Our group of Alpini
organized a trip to Toronto for the Alpini
Congresso. Then two days after, we had the
honour to have a choir from Italy – a young
group of fifty Alpini. It was a beautiful night.
The following day, we took them to see the
WFCU center of which they were very
impressed. They went to center ice and sang
three moving songs. From there we went to
Colio Wines for a barbecue and enjoyed each
other’s company. A thank you goes to the
President of the Alpini, Vittorino Morasset
and his committee. In the same week,
another beautiful evening was organized by
Vittorino Morassett and his wife June.
Vittorino is the representative of EFASCE –
As many of you know, I was unable to attend
the October general assembly. Upon my
return, I was pleased to see so many
volunteers that would like to be part of the
Board of Directors. I stress the importance of
your attendance at the next general assembly
in November to ensure that you vote for who
you feel is the most qualified person for that

BOOK
OF THE
MONTH
"Invito a Udine" by
Mario De Biasi --- This
city, with 1,000 plus
years of history, is the
capital of the Province
of Udine. A brief and
very
interesting
historical summary, in
English and Italian,
draws one to journey
through the pages of
c o l o u r f u l
photographs. One will
find canals, courtyards,
gardens,
art
and
architectural treasures
(including the famous
"Ciastièl") along with
the old and the modern
and its people depicted
throughout.
If you’re interested in
borrowing this book, or
