MESSAGE FROM YOUR STATE PRESIDENT

I hope that everyone enjoyed a Buona Pasqua!  Quiet day here but very relaxing and enjoyable.

Everyone should have received their convention packages by now.  Read them thoroughly and send in your reservations.  I hope to see a beautiful group at our upcoming June convention especially since we will be celebrating our 100th anniversary.  We will have several National officers visiting us.

I was just rereading last month’s Il Leone and realized several important photos were omitted from our Open House.  We had a nice group of State Officers and Lodge Presidents present and their photos were missed.  Hope they made it in this issue.

I hope everyone has had a chance to meet Alison, our new Office Manager, either in person or on the phone.  She is doing a great job.

Plans are going great for our 100th celebration and more information is in this issue. I hope to see a great representation from our lodges.

Don’t forget Mothers Day which is just around the corner! If you are fortunate to still have your Mother, treat her very well.  Like my Dad always said, you only have one Mother.

This is it for this month.  I have been home the past several weeks trying to get better so not much to report.

Ciao.
