March meeting at the Scarpetta's

The Young Italians Lodge 2668 cordially invite you to spend St. Joseph's Day, March 19, at Bob and Donna Scarpetta's home in beautiful Oldsmar.

Please let both Donna and I know if and how many will be attending and what dish you will be bringing.

Burgers will be cooked on the grill so to make our cookout complete, we need (Italian or non-Italian) appetizers, salads or side dishes and desserts.

We will also be conducting elections for new officers as this meeting.

We hope to see you there!

Thank you.

Suzanne and Joe Lomascolo
President and Orator

Italian mass in St. Pete

Hey everyone,

There is an Italian mass scheduled in St. Pete on Sunday, Feb. 20th.

They used to do this once a month during the snow-bird season, but now they have ceased the mass on a regular basis. However, Father Tony, who has since moved to Cleveland, is back in town, and will celebrate the one-time mass on the 20th. The mass will be in Italian, and they will print a mini-missalete so you can follow along. There used to approximately 40-50 in attendance, but stopped because of lack of interest after Father Tony moved. I have no idea how many will show up this time, but I promised I would spread the word.

Here is the info:

When: Sunday, Feb 20th, 2011

Time: 4PM

Address: 5815 5th Ave N, St Petersburg, FL 33710-7100

Our Lady's Chapel, Capella della Madonna
Cathedral of St. Jude's

Mass will take place in the chapel, not in the regular church.

Thanks,

Larry

Happy Hour this Friday, sing with Alvaro

Information on happy hour this Friday (January 14th) at the Italian Club in Ybor. Alvaro came up with this idea.

I am an accordionist from Florence, Italy. It could be fun to meet and sing some Italian and Neapolitan songs together; I could accompany and we could download the texts online. I would be glad to read the pronunciation before singing. I would love meeting anyone who loves Italy and us Italians.


So, here is our chance to become Italian idols! :-)

We'll meet at the Italian club in Ybor City for their weekly happy hour, and we'll belt out some Italian tunes (3 to be specific). There is a PDF file that I will send you for the lyrics.

Happy hour lasts until 9PM

All you can eat food buffet (optional) is $10. Last time they had a nice selection - chicken marsala, other items, pizza, salad, and cannoli!

If you are a little shy about singing, don't worry a cash bar is available to loosen up your vocal chords. smile And if you are singing challenged like myself, don't worry, it'll be a lot of fun.

Hope you all can make it, Alvaro has graciously offered his musical skills, so let's make it a nice concerto!
