Rodolfo Valentino Lodge #1449

Elvis has left the building literally means “the show is over; go home”.

At our last month’s meeting we discussed our upcoming monthly schedule and affirmed our slate of officers. …Reminder: Our meetings are now on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 PM at Luna’s, on Pollasky Ave. in Clovis. Isabel will verify your reservations as usual.

Next month: Our very own Bert Liberta (head chef at Luna’s Restaurant) will be a guest speaker for the Clovis-Big Dry Creek Historical Society’s monthly “Let’s Talk Clovis” event at the Clovis Memorial District Building’s Freedom Room. It would be great for us all to support him in this effort, which will be held on March 14 at 7:00PM. Coffee, drinks, & cookies will be served.

United Lodges of the Central Valley held a meeting last month in Fresno at the Spaghetti Factory with good attendance from our lodge. Various subjects were brought up and discussed. The food was great, as usual.

Italian Slang: L’amore domina senza regole (Love rules without rules). And: Minestra riscaldata (Reheated soup, or, that is old news)
